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).
Other applications include outdoor video displays used to provide information or promote products and events in metropolitan areas.
The new HLMP-xx61 series of LEDs provide an oval shaped radiation pattern, a wide viewing angle and high illumination intensity to make display characters viewable from any angle in bright sunlight.
Moreover, these LED lamps have a very smooth, matched radiation pattern to ensure consistent colour mixing in full colour applications.
Avago's new series of extra-bright LEDs are available in red, blue and green colours.
Each lamp is made with advanced optical grade epoxy to offer superior high temperature and high moisture resistance in outdoor ESS applications.
Designers of electronic signs and signals are seeking higher brightness levels to reduce the number of LEDs in a cluster.
With Avago's series of new extra-bright oval through-hole LED lamps, electronic signs can be designed using fewer individual LEDs to provide equivalent brightness.
Alternatively, signs can be designed with the same number of LEDs, providing substantially higher brightness levels for better readability and contrast.
The lead spacing and packages are compatible with conventional high-brightness 5mm standard and miniature oval-pattern LED lamps.
A series of 4mm standard oval-pattern LED lamps are also available.
The extra-bright HLMP-xx61 oval lamps are supplied in Avago's precision optical performance moulded packages, modified for higher current input and increased heat dissipation.
The die is attached within the reflector cavity, and the cavity is encapsulated by an Avago proprietary ultraviolet-resistant epoxy blend.
Samples and production quantities with a four-week lead time are available now through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
