Introduction To Fiber Optic Transceivers Applied To 10G Ethernet
Many Internet users have suffered a lot by lower bandwidth. In order to help people walk out this kind of deadlock, researchers and developers promoted 10 Gigabit Ethernet to meet the requirement of higher bandwidth for Internet users. For a single connection, 10 Gigabit Ethernet can arrive about 10000 MB/s, which is the 10 times higher than 1 Gigabit Ethernet. 10 Gigabit Ethernet can be shortened as 10GE, 10GbE, or 10 GigE, which is compliant with the IEEE 802.ae-2002 standard. Both copper and optical fiber cable can be used on 10GbE network infrastructure. How about 10G optical transceivers? Nowadays, the 10G SFP+, XFP, X2 XENPAK modules are ubiquitous in the telecom market. In this article, information about XFP, X2, XENPAK and SFP+ modules will be mainly covered. XFP Module XFP stands for 10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable, which is developed by XFP Multi Source Agreement. This transceiver uses optical fiber cable to transfer data, both single-mode and multimode fibers can...
