Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
This open port architecture allows end users and system integrators to select which transceiver (optical or copper) to install based on customer requirements.
For customer sites with commonly installed Category 5 copper cabling, users can now choose to upgrade to gigabit speeds, saving the cost of new cable installation.
The Agilent HBCU-5710R is designed for switch-to-switch interface, switched backplane, and file server interface applications.
It supports SFP multisource agreement compliant ports, assuring interoperability with a wide range of equipment.
The HBCU-5710R offers 10/100/1000Base-T link operation over 100m of Category 5 cabling, an RJ-45 connector and convenient bail-wire delatch.
In addition, the HBCU-5710R provides superior electromagnetic interference performance, using a metal housing and shielded design.
The HBCU-5710R uses the Marvell Alaska 88E1111 that performs the physical layer (PHY) functions for half- and full-duplex 10Base-T Ethernet, and half- and full-duplex 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T Ethernet on Cat5 twisted-pair cable.
In addition, the Alaska device's low power consumption enables Agilent to deliver best-in-class power dissipation performance.
"As the world leader in fibre-optic transceivers, our customers look to Agilent to offer economical, high-performance solutions", said Tom Fawcett, Worldwide Marketing Manager for Agilent's Fiber Optic Products Division.
"This new product offers a clear value proposition by enabling a low-cost upgrade path to Gigabit Ethernet". Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
