MARCH 23, 2010 -- NeoPhotonics in San Diego is introducing a line of 10G PON transceivers, compliant with the ITU-T G987.2 and IEEE 802.3av networking standards, to go with its GPON and GEPON modules for fiber to the premise (FTTP) networks for optical line terminals (ALT) and optical networking units (ONU) in central offices and at customer premises.
The ITU-T G987.2 compatible transceivers support data rates of 10G in the downstream direction and 2.5G burst mode transmission in the upstream direction covering nominal link budgets of 29 dB and 31 dB.
The IEEE 802.3av compatible transceivers support data rates of 10G in the downstream direction and 1G burst mode transmission in the upstream direction covering link budgets of up to 30.5 dB. The ALT transceivers come in the XFP form factor, and the ONU transceivers come in the SFP+ form factor.
