Avago Technologies Introduces Four-Channel Parallel Optic Transceiver Module for High-Speed Router and Computer Interconnects.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Lead-Free, RoHS-6 Compliant Module Operates at 3.125 Gbps Per Channel for an Aggregate Data Rate of 12.5 Gbps Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today introduced a four-channel parallel optic transceiver module that operates at 3.125 Gbps per channel for an aggregate bandwidth of 12.5 Gbps and a link distance up to 350 meters. This distance and high-bandwidth capacity gives network designers the flexibility to create larger systems in central offices or large enterprises. In addition, Avago will demonstrate the industry's first parallel optic modules to provide 5 Gbps transmission speed per channel, allowing an aggregate bandwidth of 60 Gbps. Avago Technologies' HFBR-7934Z parallel optic transceiver module is among the first in the industry to comply with RoHS 6 (Restriction of Hazardous Substances, EU Directive (European Union Directive) A set of privacy requirements that took effect in 1998 and ordered European member nations to enact compliant legislation. It deals with the establishment of Data Protection Authorities, people's rights to personal information and enforcement. 2002/95/EC), and it features excellent EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. (electromagnetic interference See EMI. ) performance. The module helps network and telecom equipment manufacturers meet the growing demand for terabit data transfer in interconnects for high-end routers, server clusters (switch fabric interconnect) and other high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. applications. It also solves the data capacity and space problems inherent with copper interconnects and existing optical transceivers. "As the industry's leading provider of high-quality parallel optic modules, our customers look to us to solve their information transfer bottlenecks with increasingly higher levels of bandwidth capacity and optical performance," said Adam Carter Adam Carter is the character played by Rupert Penry-Jones in the BBC television series Spooks. He joined in episode 1 of series 3 and in the following episode he took over as team leader and male lead from Tom Quinn (played by Matthew Macfadyen) who had been the team leader since , strategic marketing manager for the Fiber Optic Products Division at Avago Technologies. "This new transceiver module meets those needs, and it's available in the high production volumes our customers require." The HFBR-7934Z parallel optic transceiver module is compliant with the POP4 (Pluggable Optics four-channel) multi-source agreement, and combines an 850 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested with custom laser-driver integrated circuitry. The module provides four transmit channels and four receive channels in a single, space-efficient, pluggable transceiver package. Each channel operates up to 3.125 Gbps, compared with the 2.7 Gbps per channel bandwidth of previous POP4-compliant modules. The HFBR-7934Z parallel optic module enables cost-effective, high-throughput interconnections between multiple chassis or racks of equipment in central offices or large enterprises. The modules can provide interconnects up to 150 meters on 500 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. .km fiber, and 350 meters on 2000 MHz.km fiber. The transceiver receptacle uses the popular MTP/MPO ribbon fiber connector interface, and the electrical connection An electrical connection between discrete points allows the flow of electrons, (current). A pair of connections is needed for a circuit. Between points with a low voltage difference between them, direct current flow can be controlled by a switch. is made via the pluggable 10 x 10 Meg-Array connector system. Its integrated heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. provides exceptional thermal dissipation.
