Avago Technologies First to Market With 10 Gb Parallel Optic Module With 120 Gb/s Data Throughput.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a 10 Gb parallel optics transmitter and receiver pair that can reach data throughput levels of up to 120 Gb/s. The AFBR-810BxxZ and AFBR-820BxxZ high-density modules leverage 12 independent channels each and deliver superior signal integrity with support for the new P-POD pin-out standard. These modules are capable of supporting distances of up to 50 m. Additionally, with minimal power consumption needs, Avago's new parallel optic modules require only 2.4W per module.

Avago's AFBR-810BxxZ is a 12-channel transmitter and the AFBR-820BxxZ is a 12-channel receiver. Both offer 10 Gb/s per channel for an aggregate of 120G per link. These high speed parallel optic modules are based on a 'SNAP 12-like' pluggable form factor with an upgraded pin-out configuration to deliver superior signal integrity and keyed to prevent mis-plugging with existing parallel optic modules.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for the AFBR-810BxxZ and AFBR-820BxxZ high-density parallel optics modules begin below $1,000 per pair in volume amounts.
