Avago Technologies has announced it has added a line of single-mode SFP transceivers for long reach SONET OC-48 to its METRAK family of SONET products. The AFCT-5745xZ line of transceivers includes high-performance, cost effective modules for serial optical data communications that range from 125 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s. The new SFP OC-48 transceivers are ideal for OADMs, metro routers and multiservice switches.

Compared to previous form factors, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules enable telecom equipment manufacturers to design greater port density into their products. This design flexibility paves the way for manufacturers to deliver more value-add services from a single switch or router.

With an advanced digital diagnostic monitoring interface (DMI), Avago's AFCT-5745xZ provides reliable fault isolation, component monitoring and failure prediction capabilities. It also delivers superior ESD/EMI performance, excellent mask margin of over 20% and superior industrial temperature performance (-40 to +85 degrees C). The ROHS-compliant transmitters utilize 1310 nanometer and 1550 nanometer distributed feedback (DFB) lasers.

Avago's digital DMI allows the host to observe real-time temperatures, supply voltage, laser bias current, laser average output power and received input average power. The AFCT-5745xZ is also designed with a 3-stage pin sequencing at the electrical interface to be hot pluggable and ensure easy design integration.

The ACFT-5745xZ modules will be available in Q2 2007 through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.

Avago Technologies is a leading supplier of fiber optic transceivers, with manufacturing and testing procedures that produce the industry's most reliable devices. Avago's broad portfolio of Ethernet, SONET and Fibre Channel transceivers supports all speeds, and includes transmitters and receivers for industrial and automotive applications.
