From Avago Technologies

Avago Technologies is the fi rst fi ber optic module vendor to product release a fully compliant 40Gb Ethernet QSFP+
optical transceiver. Leveraging its history in delivering 850nm VCSEL based solutions, Avago QSFP+ modules deliver
excellent high speed optical / electrical performance coupled with low power dissipation. Using bundled fi ber cables
and MPO connectors, port density is triple that of SFP+ modules, and power consumption is reduced from 1000 mW
maximum per lane for SFP+ to 375 mW maximum per lane for QSFP+.
To further expand its portfolio of innovative parallel fi ber optic products, Avago is releasing a new QSFP+ transceiver
that is not only 40Gb Ethernet compliant, but also interoperable with any 10GBASE-SR compliant transceiver at link distances
up to 100 meters over OM3 multi-mode fi ber (MMF). It is named QSFP+ iSR4 with "i" for interoperable.

Products & Services
Fiber Optic Transmitters
Fiber optic transmitters are devices that include an LED or laser source, and signal conditioning electronics, to inject a signal into fiber.
Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic cables are composed of one or more transparent optical fibers enclosed in protective coverings and strength members. Fiber optic cables are used to transmit "light" data.
Fiber Optic Connectors
Fiber optic connectors are used to align and join two or more fibers together to provide a means for attaching to, or decoupling from, a transmitter, receiver, or other fiber optic device.
Fiber Optic Cleaning Tools
Fiber optic cleaning and splicing tools are used to connect, adapt, polish, repair, fiber and fiber optic cables. This area includes fiber optic consumables such as polish, swabs, wipes, etc.
Fiber Optic Receivers
Fiber optic receivers are instruments that convert light into electrical signals. They contain a photodiode semiconductor, signal conditioning circuitry, and an amplifier.
