Avago Showcases “First Fully-Compliant” CXP Optical Transceiver
The 120 Gbps transceiver solution provides optimal cable management flexibility for system installation and lower total cost of ownership for replacements.
Avago Technologies is demonstrating what it claims is the industry’s first CXP parallel optic transceiver solution that is fully-compliant to industry standards at the Super Computing 2010 conference.
Tribolet joined Sofradir in 1986 and spearheaded developments in IR technology over the past 28 years. In his last role, he was responsible for directing the company’s research and development of technologies, as well as directing production programs for both French and international military, aerospace and security customers. He managed a team of more than 120 engineers and technicians.
Prior to joining Sofradir, Tribolet conducted research in photovoltaic infrared detectors at CEA-Leti, a renowned laboratory in Grenoble, France. He graduated from ESME (University College of Mechanics and Electricity, Paris, France).
Tribolet’s contributions to the development of Sofradir and the IR field in France have been critical and outstanding. Tribolet was highly respected both as a man and a scientist.
He leaves behind his wife Kathrine and his two young children, Claire and Victor.
David Billon-Lanfrey will stand in for Tribolet as acting CTO of Sofradir.
The new 12-channel CXP transceivers support lane rates of up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) for an aggregate bandwidth of up to 120 Gbps. The hot- pluggable modules feature an industry-compliant MTP multi-fiber push on (MPO) receptacle for removable fiber cable connectors. This allows flexible cable management at installation, simplifying design and lowering cost for high- performance computing, switch fabric and other short-range data and communication interconnect applications.
The new Avago CXP optical transceivers are compliant to both IBTA MSA specifications for CXP QDRx12 and IEEE 100GBASE-SR10 specifications. The modules incorporate the company’s 850-nm Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology, PIN array technology and integrated laser driver and receiver IC technology, which combine to provide robust electrical and optical performance at high data rates.
Programmable equalization and de-emphasis for each of the modules’ lanes optimize the signal integrity performance for an edge mount solution and long PCB trace lengths. With superior jitter performance, the modules provide 10 Gbps performance per lane for up to 100 meters using OM3 fiber or 150 meters using OM4 fiber.
“Our CXP transceiver works with separate cabling to offer a pay-as-you-go fiber optic solution with lower total cost of ownership and easier installation,” said Tina Ohlhaver, marketing manager for fiber optic products at Avago. “Avago has over a decade of experience in developing 12-channel parallel optic solutions, and we are leveraging this expertise and investment in building block
