Category: Electronics, Fiber Optics, Finisar Corporation

Overview of the Multimode 850 nm Ix9 Transceiver

The Product Specification Multimode 850 nm 1.0625 Gbit/s Fibre Channel 1.3 Gigabit Ethernet Ix9 Transceiver, with part numbers V23826-K305-Cxx and V23826-K305-Cxxx, is a compact integrated unit designed for high-speed data transmission. These transceivers are fully compliant with Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet standards and are designed to meet the mezzanine standard height of 9.8 mm, making them highly suitable for a variety of applications, including 1.25 Gbit/s 1000 Base-SX Ethernet and 1.063 Gbit/s 100-M5-SN-I and 100-M6-SN-I Fibre Channel.

Key Features of the Ix9 Transceiver

Major features include a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) transmitter and integrated receiver, Duplex SC receptacle, and compliance with Class FDA and IEC laser safety standards. The transceivers support a single power supply of either 5 V or 3.3 V, and come with signal detect indicators available in both PECL and TTL versions. They offer PECL differential inputs and outputs and facilitate distances of up to 550 m on multimode fiber.

Additional Properties

Enhancements include a process plug for wave soldering and washability, further adding to the unit’s convenience and robustness for different environmental conditions.

Product Variant Selection

The product selection table featured in the datasheet outlines various transceiver models categorized by part number, voltage, signal detect option, and shield options. Available variants such as the V23826-K305-C13 operate with a 5 V supply, while the V23826-K305-C313, V23826-K305-C53, and V23826-K305-C63 function at both 5 V and 3.3 V, catering to different PECL configurations. Additionally, these transceivers come with options for metallized covers with forward, extended forward, or backward springs, which can be specified by suffixes like -D3. Standard versions are noted as well in the product selection guidance.
