3Com Compatible 1000Base-SX GBIC Optical Transceiver For Multi-Mode Fiber

Toronto, Canada - GAO Fiber Optics is offering its 3Com compatible 1000Base-SX GBIC optical transceiver which is widely used for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-SX) links at 1.25 Gbps, high speed I/O for file servers and switch to switch interface. It is a hot-pluggable I/O device that plugs into an Ethernet GBIC port of a 3Com switch or router to link the port with the network.

This hot-pluggable GBIC transceiver, model C011G101, is fully compatible with original 3Com transceivers. It features built-in digital diagnostic functions, duplex SC connector interface and SCA-2 host connector. This GBIC transceiver operates at the wavelength of 850 nm and offers an operating data rate up to 1.25 Gbps. The optical transceiver consists of two sections: the transmitter section incorporates a VCSEL laser, and the receiver section contains an InGaAs/InP PIN photodiode integrated with a trans-impedance preamplifier (TIA). The transceiver provides a maximum transmission distance of up to 550 m. It is compliant with GBIC interface converters specifications Rev. 5.5 as well as Gigabit Ethernet standard as specified in IEEE 802.3. In addition, a 20-pin connector is used to connect the converter to the host system.

This 3Com compatible 1000Base-SX GBIC optical transceiver belongs to GAO's family of 3Com Compatible Tranceivers. The line provides a full range of transceivers such as1000Base-LX 3Com Compatible GBIC Optical Transceiver, 3Com Compatible 1000Base-LX SFP Transceiver and 3Com Compatible 10GBase-SR XENPAK Transceiver. GAO's pluggable transceivers offer a convenient and cost effective solution for use in data centers, metropolitan area access and ring networks, and storage area networks. GAO's portfolio of compatible transceivers offers a rich set of choices in terms of speeds, protocols, reaches and accepted transmission media.
