The 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver will be part of Avago Technologies’ broad portfolio of high-speed optical components on display at Avago’s booth located in Hall 7, booth # 70 at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) taking place from September 22-24 at the Expo Centre in Brussels, Belgium.
With digital monitoring interface (DMI), Avago’s new 10G SFP+ transceivers operate over single-mode fiber at distances up to 10 km in compliance with the optical interface specifications per IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-LR. With support for RoHS 6 and China RoHS, the ACFT-701SDZ operates in temperatures ranging from 0° to 70° Celsius and features a typical power dissipation of less than 1W. An extended temperature version, the AFCT-701ASDZ, supports 0° to 85° Celsius. Avago’s new optical transceiver follows the SFF-8431 specification for enhanced 10 Gb SFP+ as well as the SFF-8472 specification for DMI in optical transceivers.
The emerging SFP+ form factor for optical transceivers enables network equipment manufacturers to build products with greater port density to effectively support the growing demand for data-intensive applications.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for the AFCT-701SDZ/AFCT-701ASDZ begins at $380/$430 in volumes. Samples are available now with general availability by end 2008.
