Datasheet

The ZyXEL Transceiver Series is a complete range of industry standard, hot-pluggable
transceiver modules consists of Fast, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit variations.
Key Benefits
Standard-based Design Assures Compatibility
The ZyXEL transceiver family follows industry standards to assure compatibility with switches from
other manufacturers without barrier set by proprietary technologies.
Comprehensive Portfolio for Different Connectivity Demands
With ZyXEL’s comprehensive Fast, Gigabit and 10 G transceiver product range, users can just plug the
proper model onto the network to extend the physical coverage.
Swappable Design Facilitates Network Maintenance
Independent transceiver design provides the highest network maintenance flexibility. Transceivers
can be freely added when required, and infrastructure upgrades or transceiver repairs can be done
easily by just replacing the transceiver instead of the whole device.
Bi-directional Transceivers Maximizes Usage of Existing Fiber Plant
Traditional fiber optic networking requires two strands of fiber to accomplish communications, in
which one strand is reserved for sending signals, while the other is for receiving. On the other hand,
bi-directional, dual-wavelength transceivers can establish communications over just one strand of
fiber by using two separate optical wavelengths: one receives and the other transmits signals.
Transmission capacity can be expanded immediately without additional cost laying new fiber, as
such the value of existing fiber plant can be maximized.
Supporting DDMI (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface) SFP Enhances
Management Capability
The enhanced digital interface enables a real time link to be established between the switch and the
SFP transceiver. This enables the switch to access operating parameters within the fibre link. This
includes digital features such as soft control and monitoring of SFP I/O signals. In addition the DDMI
functionality enables the capability to implement digital alarms and warnings.
The digital diagnostic monitoring interface enables users to have the capability of performing
component monitoring, fault isolation and failure prediction tasks on their transceiver-based links.
This feature ensures that the business can be proactive in preventative maintenance of the network
and ensure business continuity.
DDMI Monitors:
• Temperature
• Supply voltage
• Transmitted bias current
• Transmitted power
• Received power
All features listed above include alarm and warning thresholds.
