Optical Transceiver Includes Media Converter

The four-channel FCU-050M001-R01 optical transceiver module integrates a media converter to extend the signal transmission reach of a copper interface up to 300m at 2.5 Gb/s or 100m at 3.125 Gb/s over multimode fiber ribbon cable. The hot-pluggable optical module’s socket is based on the company's microGiGaCN differential copper I/O connector. It is compatible with the XAUI–based 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper XENPAK modules, as well as other industry-standard MDI electrical sockets for CX4, Infiniband, and Fibre Channel. Other features include a typical power dissipation of 0.8W, case operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C, and power- and error-indicating LEDs. Price is $470 each/100.
