Lightwire 10 Gbps Transceiver Products

Lightwire LSME10XX Transceiver

Lightwire's first generation products are targeted at a well defined and fast-growing market segment - 10 Gbps Ethernet optoelectronic interconnects in the MSA SFP+ format. They solve the major issues facing the SFP+ market - power consumption and signal integrity. Lightwire's second-generation products will be targeted at 8.5 Gbps Fibre Channel and very short reach SFP+ active cable solutions. Third-generation products will target multi-channel 40 and 100 Gbps interconnect applications.

The Lightwire LSME10XX - 10Gb LRM SFP+ Optical Transceiver Module

The Lightwire LSME10XX 10Gbps Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) LRM transceiver module is a modular building block used by networking equipment manufacturers to develop standard, high-performance plug-and-play 10Gbps interfaces between computers, servers and network equipment connected in Ethernet-based networks at distances up to 220m.

Key Features

Lowest Power Dissipation - 400mW at 10 Gbps
Best in Class Signal Integrity - Superior Eye Mask Margin
Stable Performance Over Widest Temperature Range: -5° to 85°C
Excellent Rx Linearity Over Multimode Fiber
Integrated CDR in Xmit Path
1310nm Telcordia Grade CW FP Laser
-8 dBm Typical OMA Receive Sensitivity

The LSME10XX SFP+ Optical Transceiver module is compliant with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specification and is designed for applications including 10GBASE-LRM 10G Ethernet per the IEEE 802.3 CL68 standard. It uses an industry-standard LC duplex receptacle interface.

Key advantages of this industry standard compliant module include an extremely low power dissipation of under 0.4 Watts, higher operating temperature range, superior signal characteristics that result in lower bit error rates, lower electro-magnetic interference or EMI for reduced noise and signal cross-talk. Built-in diagnostics simplify design and debug and the use of continuous wave (CW) 1310nm FP lasers reduce module cost.
