Tunable SFP+ for CWDM Wireless Fronthaul Network
2015-06-09
Currently wireless service providers are interested in a DWDM approach over CWDM in their fronthaul networks to improve
their capacity significantly without installing new fiber cables. The existing DWDM approach using fixed-wavelength DFBs
causes high operational expenses (opex), including the inventory cost for DFBs to cover a variety of channels.
polymer-based external cavity tunable SFP+ for CWDM wireless fronthaul network in 2009. Now, tunable SFP+
transceiver can reduce opex significantly, since it can be used to support any DWDM channel regardless of the
allocated wavelength via the colorless nature of its tunable laser. Moreover, it supports the plug-and-play operation,
which enables fast, easy, and cost-effective installation and maintenance.
Professor : Very innovative and there is potential market demand. Having low cost tunable lasers for front haul
applications is a problem and this product offers a solution."

012019-10With 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.

012019-101. 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.

012019-10AOC 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.
