Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Compatible Single Mode and Multimode Devices

In order to support network equipment manufacturers, Intel provides a comprehensive range of optical transceivers in Small Form Factor (SFF) and Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) variants. These transceivers feature low jitter and low power dissipation, and deliver excellent performance over the full temperature range.

Intelīs optical components are Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) compatible, modular building blocks that enable networking equipment manufacturers to create standards-based products with shorter time to market and reduced development costs. Developers can use these optoelectronic components to build network solutions to meet a variety of high-bandwidth requirements in optical transport and storage networks, or Ethernet networks.

SFF Transceivers
Using 850 nm wavelength light sources that support link distances up to 500 m over multimode optical fiber, the TXN31011 trirate transceiver offers a transmission rate of up to 2.125 Gbit/s (2x Fibre Channel rate). This transceiver module can also operate at 1.0625 Gbit/s (1x Fibre Channel) and 1.25 Gbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) without the use of a rate-select pin. The TXN22020 is a 1310 nm optical transceiver designed for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet data links operating at 1.25 Gbit/s. It supports distances of up to 10 km over single mode optical fiber. The TXN31011 and TXN22020 devices are compliant with FDA Radiation Performance Standards (21 CFR Subchapter J), and IEC 60825 and IEC 60950 international safety standards.

SFP Transeivers
The TXN31111 and TXN22120 optical transceivers are SFP counter-parts to TXN31011 and TXN22020; specifications such as transmission rate, wave length, single mode or multimode optical fiber etc. for these pluggable transceiver modules are the same as for SFF versions. The TXN21125, TXN22125 and TXN31115 quadrate transceivers use 850 nm (TXN31115) and 1310 nm (TXN21125 and TXN22125) wavelength light sources, and support multimode optical fiber and single mode optical fiber respectively.
They are designed for high-speed Fibre Channel data links operating at up to 4.25 Gbit/s (4x Fibre Channel rate). These transceivers can also operate at 1.0625 Gbit/s and 2.125 Gbit/s (1x and 2x Fibre Channel) and 1.25 Gbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet) without the use of a rateselect pin.
All SFP transceivers are compliant with FDA Radiation Performance Standards (21 CFR Subchapter J), and IEC 60825 and IEC 60950 international safety standards.

Both SFF and SFP transceivers have an LC duplex receptacle interface compatible with the industry-standard LC optical connector.
