X2 Optical Module Introduction

2017-07-03
X2 is a standardized package of the 10G optical transponders. X2 are available for both versions 10G Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel. X2 optical transponder is only applied to the data communication optical fiber connection (not used in the telecommunications transmission network), and their size is smaller than XENPAK optical transponder. Electrical interface of board is standardized, be known as XAUI (4X3.125Gb / s).
 X2 Optical Module Introduction
X2 optical modules is evolved from the standard of XENPAK, and its internal functional modules are same to XENPAK basically, the circuit board applications are same too .that only need one optical module to achieve 10G Ethernet interface functions. As XENPAK optical modules put-on the board need to slot on the circuit board , so it will be achieve complex and can’t achieve high density applications. Improved X2 optical modules’ size only about half of XENPAK, can be directly put on the board, so apply to high-density rack systems and PCI card applications.
 
X2 optical modules are available in two circuit interfaces: XAUI and Serial Framer Interface (SFI-4), which can be used for 10G Ethernet and also can be used for OC-192 SDH and 10GFC. X2 compared to XPAK changes are mainly reflected in the rail system, the industry generally believe that the two specifications will be integrated together finally.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
