Conforming to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement, these state-of-the-art plug-in optical transceivers are designed expressly for high-speed bi-directional communication applications that employ Aurora Networks' digital networking products. Many of these modules are functionally identical to the transceivers already built into several of Aurora's products (e.g., DT4000 series optical node transceiver modules), but provide a more flexible, plug-in means of enabling additional optional secondary ports in several of those products.

Various types of SFP transceivers are available that support rates up to 125 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.125 Gbps and 3.1875 Gbps, with the laser transmission portion of the devices operating at one of a wide variety of available wavelengths (1310 nm, 1550 nm and 15 CWDM ITU-T G.694.2 grid wavelengths) supporting link budgets over distances ranging up to 40 km.

Aurora's SFP transceivers feature very low jitter contribution, resulting in extremely clean, high-quality eye patterns. The metal enclosures for the modules not only make them sturdier, but also improve FCC test margins. This emission and ESD control is particularly important in applications with sensitive multiport hubs and switches.
