Integra Optics has begun shipping its SFP+, 10/2.5 G BiDi, 20km, XGSPON OLT transceiver.
The new optical transceiver module is designed for XG/XGS-PON 10/2.5 G applications over a single strand of fiber with support for links up to 20 kilometers.
The XGSPON OLT optical module is able to bypass external WDM equipment in the network architecture, thereby reducing network construction and maintenance costs. Also, it offers network providers a seamless upgrade path from GPON (lower data rates) to XGS-PON (up to 10 G) without necessitating changes to the underlying infrastructure − a cost-effective solution for evolving towards higher bandwidth demands.
In addition to being fully compliant with SFP+ MSA and XG/XGS-PON standards, it boasts an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for reliability and performance under extreme conditions. These features make the transceiver an ideal choice for broadband access and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, among other high-speed optical link applications.
The transceiver's digital diagnostic interface aligns with the QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring broad compatibility and easy integration into existing networks. Additionally, by utilizing a single strand of fiber instead of two, the SFP+ XGSPON OLT transceiver significantly reduces network complexity and costs, while being available coded for compatibility across several platforms.
"This transceiver reinforces our commitment to innovation and our role in driving the future of optical networking," said Senior Engineering Manager Marlena Miller. "It is a testament to our dedication to providing high-quality, reliable solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry at large."
