Description
The SFP transceiversare high performance, cost effective modulessupporting dual data-rate of 1.25Gbps and 120km transmission distance with SMF.
The transceiver consists of threesections: a DFP laser transmitter,a PIN photodiode integrated with a trans-impedance preamplifier(TIA)and MCU control unit. All modules satisfy class I laser safety requirements.
Thetransceivers are compatible with SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). For further information, please refer to SFP MSA.
