American Avago Tech 16 officially launched an ultra-low power consumption, small plug-in Fast Ethernet fiber optic transceivers AFBR-57E6APZ, designed for industrial automation, control and network applications and other fields.

Agilent vice president and general manager of industrial fiber optic products division Martin · Wiegert said: "Fast Ethernet is widely used in the fields of industrial automation control and network, as more nodes are added to the fiber optic network, cooling problems began to receive industry attention, stimulate the low-power optical fiber transceiver needs. "

Which fiber optic transceivers compatible with Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.3u Fast Ethernet SFF-8074i, SFF-8472 MSA, 100BASE-FX and other technical specifications, the chip set has been redesigned, light-emitting diodes can be used to control, diagnostic monitoring interface, signal processing applications, can significantly reduce power consumption. And compared to previous-generation devices, AFBR-57E6APZ energy consumption reduced by 42%, while having more excellent electrical and optical properties. When using 50/125 micron or 62.5 / 125 micron multimode fiber link distances up to 2 km.
