General Features
SFP MSA Compliance
The AFCT-575xZ family of SFP optical transceivers are
The product package is compliant with the SFP MSA with
high performance, cost effective modules for serial op- the LC connector option. The SFP MSA includes specifica-
tical data communications applications ranging from tions for mechanical packaging and performance as well as
155-622 Mbps. They are designed to provide SONET/ dc, ac and control signal timing and performance.
SDH compliant connections for 622 Mbps at short and
intermediate reach links. This includes specifications for
The power supply is 3.3 V dc.
The High Speed I/O (HSIO) signal interface is a Low Voltage
Differential type. It is ac coupled and terminated internally
to the module. The internal termination is a 100 Ohm dif-
ferential load.
the signal coding, optical fiber and connector types, opti-
cal and electrical transmitter characteristics, optical and
electrical receiver characteristics, jitter characteristics, and
compliance testing methodology for the aforementioned.
These transceivers are qualified in accordance with GR-
468-CORE.
Installation
The AFCT-575xZ can be installed in any SFF-8074i compli-
ant Small Form Pluggable (SFP) port regardless of host
equipment operating status. The module is hot-plug-
gable, allowing it to be installed while the host system
is operating and online. Upon insertion, the transceiver
housing makes initial contact with the host board SFP
cage, mitigating potential damage due to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
The transmitter section of the SR and IR transceivers incor-
porate a 1300nm Fabry Perot (FP) laser. For each device the
receiver section uses an MOVPE grown planar PIN photo-
detector for low dark current and excellent responsivity. A
positive-ECL logic interface simplifies interface to external
circuitry. The receiver section contains an InGaAs/InP
photo detector and a preamplifier mounted in an optical
subassembly. This optical subassembly is coupled to a
postamplifier/decision circuit on a circuit board.
The AFCT-575xZ family of optical transceivers adds digital
diagnostic monitoring to standard SFP functionality, en-
abling fault isolation, components monitoring and failure
prediction capabilities.
