Avago Technologies Showcases New Generation of 100G Optical Transceivers at OFC 2014

  • Industry’s First 100G QSFP28 SR4 Solution
  • Best-in-class 100G CFP4 LR4 Solution

SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE, March 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avago Technologies (Nasdaq:AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for wireless, wireline, and industrial applications, today announced it will be demonstrating its new generation of 100G optical transceiver module solutions, the Avago 100G QSFP28 SR4 and 100G CFP4 LR4, designed for modern datacenter and enterprise networking applications. The 100G QSFP28 SR4 will be demonstrated using live traffic streams of 100GbE data transmitting over a 100m OM4 optical fiber cable. The 100G CFP4 LR4 will be demonstrated using live traffic streams of 100GbE data transmitting over a 10km single mode optical fiber cable. The demonstrations will be in the Avago booth 3160 at the OFC 2014 exhibition in San Francisco, California from March 11th to 13th.

100G QSFP28 SR4 Highlights

  • Designed for 100GbE short-range datacenter interconnects.
  • Compliant with IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 and CAUI-4 specifications.
  • Enables seamless transition from 40G to 100G using QSFP form factor.

100G CFP4 LR4 Highlights

  • Designed for 100GbE long-range data communications.
  • Compliant with IEEE 802.3 Clause 88 for 100GBASE-LR4 media, Clause
  • 83E for CAUI-4 electrical interface, OTN OTU4 and the CFP4 MSA for MDIO functionality.
  • Leverages best-in-class CyOptics single-mode laser technology.
  • Delivers high efficiency and performance for long-range 100G enterprise networking.

“Expanding upon our broad portfolio of 100G optical transceiver module solutions, the Avago 100G QSFP28 SR4 and CFP4 LR4 are our latest innovations addressing the full spectrum of link distance requirements for 100G interconnects,” said Philip Gadd, vice president and general manager of the Fiber Optics Product Division at Avago. “These new additions demonstrate Avago’s technology leadership and continued commitment to addressing the needs of modern datacenter and enterprise networking applications.”

“Demonstrating that 100G long reach and short reach can both be accommodated in next-generation small form factors is important to datacenter equipment manufacturers,” remarked Dale Murray, Principal Analyst, LightCounting. “Enabling high-density line cards will facilitate the ramp of 100Gb Ethernet interconnects within data centers.”

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

Using the Vishay IHLE® to Mitigate Radiated EMI
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Vishay
EMI mitigation is an important design concern for a lot of different electronic systems designs. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Tim Shafer from Vishay explore how Vishay’s IHLE power inductors can reduce radiated EMI. They also examine how the composition of these inductors can support the mitigation of EMI and how you can get started using Vishay’s IHLE® High Current Inductors in your next design.
