Finisar’s new family of GBIC transceiver modules are
state-of-the-art components designed expressly for the
building of high-speed bi-directional communication
links that require data rates of up to 1.25 Gb/s.
The “smart” optical GBIC modules provide serial ID plus a
special management and diagnostics port. Using the standard
2-wire I C protocol, a host can communicate with the GBIC
transceivers to obtain status and operating parameters. This
built-in intelligence makes Finisar optical transceivers the pre-
ferred choice for systems where high reliability and system-
level diagnostics are critical.
Both short- and long-wavelength modules are available in ver-
sions that can automatically configure themselves to
interoperate with Fibre Channel devices that do and do not
run the OFC protocol.
The modules are available in both 5 V and 3.3 V versions, and
operate at special extended voltage (4.5 to 5.5 V or 3.15 to
5.5 V) and temperature (-10 to 85 C) ranges.
The optical GBIC transceivers dissipate less than 0.8 watt—
less than 50% of the maximum power
allowed by the GBIC specification.
The modules’ metal enclosure not only makes
them sturdier, but also improves the the trans-
ceiver’s FCC test margins. This emissions
and ESD control is particularly important in
applications with sensitive multiport hubs
and switches.
With Finisar’s innovative latch-arm design,
users can easily install and remove GBIC
modules with one hand, and with no tools.
Finisar’s high-speed transceiver modules are
well known throughout the industry for their
superior quality, reliability, and affordability.
An evaluation board is available for test and
demonstration purposes.
