How to install a XENPAK Transceiver Module?

2017-07-01
The 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling the XENPAK transceivers or coming into contact with the modules.
 
You will need these tools to install the XENPAK transceiver module:
Small flat-blade screwdriver to loosen or tighten the XENPAK transceiver captive installation screws.
Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent (Min) dischage (ESD) occurrences.
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the XENPAK transceiver on.
Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment. For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to Patch Cord Connector General Cleaning Process and Connector Inspection Technique
 How to install a XENPAK Transceiver Module?
To install a 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver, follow these steps:
 
Step 1 Remove the 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK transceiver from its protective packaging.
 
Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
 
Step 2 Check the label on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
 
Step 3 Align the XENPAK transceiver with the opening in the module faceplate, and slide the XENPAK transceiver into the opening until the XENPAK transceiver faceplate is in contact with the module faceplate. (See the Figure Below) This step ensures that the XENPAK transceiver is fully seated in the module socket.
 
Step 4 Tighten the two captive installation screws to secure the XENPAK transceiver in the socket. Avoid cross-threading or over tightening the captive screws.
Any optical signal greater than -1 dB can damage the DWDM XENPAK transceiver. The maximum sensitivity for the DWDM XENPAK receiver is -7dB. You must use a 10 dB attenuator on short fiber-optic cable runs to prevent damage to the DWDM XENPAK transceiver and to guarantee the specified performance.
 
Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:
 
•Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
 
•Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections. Refer to the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
 
•Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
 
Step 5 Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.
 
Step 6 Inspect and clean the SC connector's fiber-optic end-faces.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
