What is XPAK Transceiver?
2017-10-06
XPAK Multi-source Agreement (MSA) was published in 2002, which have the member of Blaze, E2O Communications, Opteon, Fujitsu, Picolight, Infineon Technologies, Intel, Tyco Electronics, and Molex. In the XPAK MSA, it defines mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation features of the form factor, as well as reference 10-GbE optical and XENPAK MSA electrical specifications. Offering higher port density, power efficiency, and ease of integration to networking equipment, the XPAK module enables network equipment manufacturers to implement 10-GbE links up to 10- and eventually, 40-kilometers, claim group representatives. This increased distance enables 10-Gigabit Ethernet to move from aggregated uplink applications to high-volume, server-to-switch, and storage-to-switch links.

XPAK with the same pinout of 70-pin XAUI (10-Gbit/sec Attachment Unit Interface) like XENPAK, but with a smaller size that offer increased densities to switch and router equipment manufacturers. The low height, limited depth, and single-sided mounting capability of the XPAK form factor also enable PCI card applications including 10-GbE network interface cards, channel adapters, backplanes, and dense-packed SAN and enterprise switches.

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.

012019-10Dense 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.
