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.
