Designed to be inter-operable with existing ECL fiber transceiver
drivers, CopperheadTM fibre channel copper transceiver line
interface modules drive high frequency (fiber speed) signals
over copper media. Models TM133 thru TM1062 are designed to
deliver fibre channel capabilities to the workstation over shielded
twisted pair (STP), twinax, mini coax, and video coaxial cable.
Model TM1250 provides communications for short haul Gigabit
Ethernet applications, typically over twinax or coaxial cable.
Model TM1485 provides communications for SMPTE, also typi-
cally over twinax or coax cable. All Copperhead™fibre channel
copper transceiver line interface modules are supplied as sur-
face mount gull wing packages.

Technical description
Copperhead™fibre channel transceiver line interface modules (LIM) take differential
ECL level NRZ data signal from the available fibre channel (or Gigabit Ethernet) silicon.
The signal is then converted to drive level, pre-conditioned with an output filter, and
transmitted over the cable through an interfacing wideband pulse transformer.
The transformer converts the signal to current and voltage levels, with exceptionally
low transmit jitter, suitable for transmission on STP, twinax or coaxial cable. The trans-
ceiver matches the impedance of both the ECL circuit and the cable plant, providing a
resultant output signal with minimum jitter and return loss.
The receiver portion of the transceiver LIM takes the signal from the media cable
and equalizes it by using a unique wideband pulse transformer and circuitry. This initi-
ates the conversion process of reducing the composite signal to ECL level NRZ for the
next level fibre channel silicon.
Benefits of transformer coupling
The pulse transformers used in Copperhead™transceiver LIMs provide high isolation
and optimum damping of transients. They also eliminate DC components in the signal
and provide common mode signal rejection. The transformer is also used to match the
load to the source and provide maximum power transfer, and also to prevent reflections
from transmission line effects.

level is 1100 mV mini mum.
The transceiver type (passive/short haul or active/long haul) is based on the cable insertion loss (attenuation) for the
length of cable in question. Pulse Components Division recommends the product type/cable length combinations listed
below. Specific models recommended as examples are based on installation/use within 1 Gbaud /150 ohm systems.

to the VCC pins (1 & 28) of the transceiver as possible.
Differential lines should be of equal length.
Data out and signal detect output lines should be as short
as possible and isolated from noisy sources.
Controlled impedance traces from pins 14 (RX+) and 15
(TX+) of the transceiver to the BNCs or DB9 connector
must be used in order to control return loss.

Fibre Channel and CMI line interface products for
today’s fastest LAN and WAN applications.
Bi-directional fiber (NRZ) to copper (CMI) converter
Built for E4/STM-1/OC3 applications to conduct bi-directional cross
media data, voice, and video communications at fiber speed data rates.
These modules provide all connections and signal conditioning for
NRZ/CMI network junctions Besides the signal connections, all that is
required is 12Vdc power. Very low transmit/receive jitter. Loss of signal
detection. Maximum operating distance exceeds 200 meters on 75
ohm RG-6/u and RG-11/u coaxial cable. Compact and easy to install.
SONET/SDH (CMI) serial line interface modules (LIM)
Compact, one-package line interface units for interfacing to the most widely used
SONET/SDH chip sets for E4/STM-1 applications.
CMI transceiver line interface modules offer a convenient, one package, high perform-
ance solution for the complex chip interfacing requirements of CMI applications. The
compact packages include transformer coupling for both TXand RXfunctions, an equaliz-
er, a differential amplifier, and buffering for ECL level input and output. Designed to be
inter-operable with existing ECL fiber transceiver drivers, the transceivers meet
SONET/ ITU-T requirements for coded mark inversion (CMI) data transmission over cop-
per. The transceivers function equally well in both 311.04 Mb/s SONET STM-1 CMI and
278.528 Mb/s SONET E4 CMI applications, delivering fiber speed data transmission and
reception over more than 200 meters of 75 ohm RG-6/u or RG-11/u coaxial cable.
High Frequency Balun Adapter for 150-ohm Fibre Channel, 100-
ohm Gigabit Ethernet, and 78-ohm high-speed 1553.
These wide-band baluns provide the impedance matching and isolation necessary to
interface a 50-ohm grounded test instrument with a differential circuit under test. They
convert a balanced differential-mode signal to a grounded unbalanced 50-ohm signal with less
than 2 dB insertion loss and greater than 15 dB return loss from 1.0 MHz to 1.2 GHz.
This permits accurate and repeatable measurements of signal quality, such as insertion
loss, transmission loss, and return loss. Each balun has a terminator network and correla-
tion data for periodic calibration verification. Terminal pins to connect the network under
test to the balun are included.
Fibre Channel (SAN) dual transformers
Designed specifically for point-to-point coupling to 150 ohm twinax cable. The isolation
transformers protect the station from static charges that may develop on the cable and
prevents ground loop currents from being transferred between stations. The devices have
also been designed to provide common mode rejection within the transmission band and
thus reduce EMI.
The wide bandwidth of these devices minimizes data dependent jitter by providing fast
signal rise times. Low-end bandwidth also minimizes base-line wander, another contribu-
tor to jitter. The dual package allows connection of both the transmit and receive channel.
