XENPAK Transceivers

XENPAK Transceivers

OptoSpan 10G XENPAK transceivers are highly integrated fiber optical modules designed for high-speed data centers. These pluggable transceivers provide a bandwidth of up to 10Gbps and reach up to 80 kilometers. 10GBASE XENPAK modules available for use with standard Duplex,  single fiber BiDirectional, CWDM/DWDM and transmissions in single- and multimode.

XENPAK Transceivers Series

OptoSpan offers two lines of XENPAK-10G transceivers for data centers based on compatability:
Standard XENPAK modules are compatible for use with brands such as Finisar, Avago, JDSU, and other generic brands, and Platinum OEM Series transceivers which are Cisco compatible XENPAK transceivers, and are designed for specific compatibility requirements such as Cisco, Brocade, Juniper, Alcatel, HP, Nortel, EMC, QLogic, and other OEM networks.

XENPAK Transceiver Types

XENPAK-10GB transceivers are available for use with standard Duplex, Single Fiber Bidirectional (BiDi),  Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM), Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).

XENPAK Transceivers

Duplex XENPAK Transceivers

OptoSpan Duplex XENPAK transceivers are highly integrated fiber optical modules designed for high-speed data centers. These pluggable XENPAK modules provide a bandwidth of up to 10Gbps and reach up to 80 kilometers.

XENPAK Transceivers

Single Fiber Bidirectional (BiDi) XENPAK Transceivers

OptoSpan Single Fiber BiDirectional XENPAK (BiDi) transceivers use simplex single-mode fiber to double the bandwidth without the cost. These hot-swappable Single Fiber XENPAK transceivers provide data rates of 10G and distance up to 60km.

XENPAK Transceivers

CWDM XENPAK Transceivers

OptoSpan CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) XENPAK transceivers transmit multiple data channels using separate optical wavelengths onto a single fiber to increase network capacity for a fiber optical transceiver module. 10G CWDM XENPAK modules provide data rates of up to 10G and reach a distance of up to 80km.

XENPAK Transceivers

DWDM XENPAK Transceivers

OptoSpan DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) XENPAK transceivers use different wavelengths to multiplex several optical signal onto a single fiber, without requiring any power to operate. These transceivers are intended for high capacity, long distance transmissions.  10GBASE DWDM XENPAK transceivers reach distances of up to 80km.
