Avago Technologies Introduces Compact 40Gbps TOSA and ROSA for 40G LR4 Lite Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE,
Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for wireless, wireline, storage and industrial applications, today announced the availability of its new 40GE-LR4 Lite transmit optical subassembly (TOSA) device and receive optical subassembly (ROSA) device, the AFCP-CT4X10D and AFCP-CR4X10P, respectively. The devices are designed for use in a quad small form factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver module providing long range 40GbE interconnects for routers and switches in the large scale data center network.
The AFCP-CT4X10D TOSA device delivers four coarse wavelength division multiplexed (CWDM) wavelengths in the 1310nm window on a single optical output. The device integrates four high-reliability, high-performance uncooled 10Gbps directly modulated lasers (DML), an optical multiplexer to combine the laser wavelengths, and four PIN photo-detectors for back-facet power monitoring. The AFCP-CR4X10P ROSA device integrates an optical de-multiplexer to separate four incoming CWDM wavelengths using four high-reliability, high-performance 10Gbps PIN photo-detectors with integrated transimpedance amplifiers (TIA).
- TOSA: Footprint = 15.9mm x 6.35mm, Height = 4.8mm
- ROSA: Footprint = 15.8mm x 5.00mm, Height = 4.4mm
- Temperature Range: -5 to +75 °C
- Average TOSA Launch Power > -5.0 dBm (per channel)
- Average ROSA Receiver Sensitivity < -13.5 dBm (per channel)
- Link Distances up to 2 km at 4×10.3125 Gbps over Standard G.652 Single Mode Fiber (SMF)
“The introduction of our new 40GE-LR4 Lite TOSA and ROSA reinforces Avago’s continued commitment to providing high-performance, cost effective component solutions for data center applications,” said Stefan Rochus, Director of Optical Components Product Marketing at Avago Technologies. “Leveraging Avago’s proven indium phosphide (InP) laser technology with over 1 trillion device service hours in the field and low cost component packaging infrastructure, these new TO-can based TOSA and ROSA enable more compact transceiver solutions while lowering system power consumption and costs for next generation data center networks.”
Avago will be showcasing the new 40GE-LR4 Lite TOSA and ROSA in the Avago booth 1567 at the OFC 2015 exhibition in Los Angeles, California from March 24th to 26th.
