Avago Technologies Unveils New Optical Engines for Wireless Backhaul and Metro Ethernet Access

SAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE,  March 11, 2014

Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for wireless, wireline, and industrial applications, today announced the availability of a new set of 10G TO can-based TOSA devices, the AFCP-TX294Y, AFCP-TN293B and AFCP-TN295J, designed for wireless backhaul and metro Ethernet access networks. With class-leading electro-optic performance and exceptionally low power consumption, these devices are designed for integration into XFP and SFP+ transceiver modules addressing high volume LTE and 10G metro Ethernet access network applications.

The AFCP-TX294Y device is a cooled EML subassembly delivering full C-Band DWDM and 1470-1610nm CWDM as well as 1550nm TDM for 10G 40km applications. The AFCP-TN293B device is a cooled DFB subassembly delivering 1270-1450nm CWDM as well as TDM for 10G 20km applications. Similarly, the AFCP-TN295J device is a cooled DFB subassembly delivering 1470-1610nm CWDM as well as TDM for 10G 20km applications.

Product Highlights •TO Can-based TOSA ◦Ideal for XFP and SFP+ transceiver modules
◦Packaged in hermetic, co-axial package with an LC receptacle optical interface and flex connects for the electrical interface

•Low Power Consumption ◦Less than 0.45 Watt (AFCP-TX294Y)
◦Less than 0.3 Watt (AFCP-TN293B)
◦Less than 0.3 Watt (AFCP-TN295J)

•Supports various long-reach link distances ◦40km 1.5μm Cooled EML (AFCP-TX294Y)
◦20km 1.3μm Cooled DFB (AFCP-TN293B)
◦20km 1.5μm Cooled DFB (AFCP-TN295J)

“These new 10G TO can-based TOSA devices expand Avago’s growing portfolio of optical component solutions and demonstrate our commitment to providing advanced cost-effective solutions for high volume applications,” said Stefan Rochus, Director of Optical Components Product Marketing at Avago Technologies.

Avago will be showcasing the new 10G TOSA devices in the Avago booth 3160 at the OFC 2014 exhibition in San Francisco, California from March 11th to 13th.
