When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise. Attend this webcast and learn storage strategies to meet your growing business demands. Register Now >
Intel Intros New Optical Transceivers
February 4, 2002
By Bob Woods
Intel Corp. said it has introduced two new optical networking subsystems that lower power consumption and increase the density of 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) communications products for enterprise, metropolitan area and core telecom networks.
Known as optical transceivers or transponders, the Intel TXN13200 family and Intel TXN17401 combine high-speed electronic components with a miniature optical receiver and transmitter in a subsystem that can be placed at each 10Gbps port of an optical network, officials said.
With a footprint about the size of a credit card (3 x 2.2 inches), the TXN13200 targets telecom applications where high port density is of critical importance. Applications include multi-port 10 Gigabit line cards in routers, switches and cross-connects in metro and core networks, and the client side of DWDM terminals in the enterprise.
The Intel TXN13200 comes in two versions, one for OC192 SONET/SDH and one for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, employing the two most common protocols in today's telecommunications equipment. The TXN13200 integrates the Intel LXT16784/85 Serializer/Deserializer and delivers low jitter performance to produce excellent optical signal quality. The TXN13200 runs at just 6.5 watts maximum power consumption over the full operating temperature range, nearly 35 percent less than previous generations of transceivers on the market.
The TXN13200 complies with 300-pin Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, allowing a turnkey solution for customers, Intel also said. An MSA is an agreement among manufacturers that defines essential requirements for form factor, pin count, electrical connectors and protocol standards conformance.
The Intel TXN17401, meantime, supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications such as enterprise switches and routers and metropolitan area network equipment at a lower cost than SONET without sacrificing performance. This XENPAK MSA compliant subsystem features a 70-pin hot pluggable electrical interface and frontface pluggable optics that allow field installation and replacement of the optical module without replacing the whole line card.
Both of the transceivers can send data ten kilometers over single mode fiber optic cables as required by 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards. They also use uncooled laser technology, which takes up less space and consumes less power than traditional thermo-electric coolers.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaking giant said the TXN17401 will be priced below $1000 in high volume, while the TXN13200 will be less than $2000 in high volume. Samples of both products are currently available, Intel added.
