Vitesse Offers Card for Migrating to XFP Modules

Vitesse Semiconductor announced the immediate availability of a 10 Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (XFP) interface card that allows for migration from 300-pin optical transponder modules to the emerging XFP optical transceiver module standard. The car plugs into a standard 300-pin connector and provides the electronics necessary to emulate a 300-pin MSA Transponder. The card is a stand-alone product containing five critical design elements: an industry standard XFP connector and cage, Vitesse's 10 Gbps serial to 16-bit transceiver integrated circuit, a 300-pin MSA connector interface, a reference clock clean-up phase locked loop, and supporting electronic circuitry.
