The 80C12B module is a broad wavelength (700 to 1650nm) multirate optical sampling module providing telecom and datacom testing for standards from 155Mb/s to 11.4Gb/s. This highly flexible module can be configured to support a wide variety of 10Gb/s applications, lower data rate applications (155Mb/s to 7.4Gb/s), or a combination of 10G and lower data rate standards.
The low data rate applications include: Telecom applications from 155 to 2666Mb/s, 1G, 2G, and 4G Fibre Channel, multilane standards such as 10GBASE-X4 and 4-Lane 10Gb/s Fibre Channel, and Infiniband SDR and DDR rates.
The supported 10Gb/s application includes both datacom and telecom standards. The supported 10Gb/s datacom applications include 10GbE, 40GbE-R4, 100GbE-SR10 applications at 9.953, 10.3125, 11.0957 Gb/s and 10G Fibre Channel applications at 10.51875Gb/s and 11.317Gb/s. The 80C12B also provides telecom rate testing at 9.953, 10.664, and 10.709Gb/s.
With its amplified O/E converter design, this module provides excellent signal-to-noise performance and high optical sensitivity, allowing users to examine low-power optical signals. The 80C12B provides an electrical clock recovery output (AC coupled) to beyond 12Gb/s data rates, which is compatible with the CR125A-HS or 80A05 (sold separately).
