MRV
| SFP/GBIC Pluggables
|
|
Pluggable interfaces are small, hot-swappable, managed port
interface modules that provide physical layer (copper or fibre)
signaling for data, voice, storage and video transport networks.
Pluggables started with GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter)
modules, which allowed Gigabit Ethernet devices to provide
a generic, modular interface to optical transceivers. This
capability allowed optical transceivers of various distances
(10km or 80km for example) to be plugged into a switch-card
slot without changing the card.

Multimode
Fibre-Optic Modules
SFP (Small Form Pluggable) MSA is a specification for a pluggable,
hot-swappable optical interface for SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel,
Gigabit Ethernet, and other applications. SFP modules are optical
transceivers, multimode (850nm) or single-mode (1310 and 1550nm).
MRV supplies these modules in addition to optical transceivers
at other wavelengths for use in CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing)
applications, and a wide variety of copper SFPs for various
protocols. Optical SFPs often include Digital Diagnostics (according
to SFF-8472) providing a powerful optical management tool. |

Multimode
& Singlemode GBIC's
GBIC modules are optical transceivers, multimode (850nm) or
single-mode (1310nm). MRV supplies these modules in addition
to optical transceivers at other wavelengths for use in CWDM
(Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) applications, and a wide
variety of copper GBICs for various protocols. MRV provides
a wide range of GBIC-based systems for physical network connectivity,
including media converters, distance extenders, cross-connects,
Ethernet switching and routing equipment, and wave division
multiplexing solutions. |

XFB
Product Line
The XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) MSA is a specification
for a pluggable, hot-swappable optical interface for 10 Gigabit
SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and other applications.
The MSA Document (not yet public) provides a common specification
for systems manufacturers, system integrators and suppliers
of pluggable XFP modules. |
