Cisco Compatible 1000Base-BX SFP Bidirectional Transceivers

October 27th, 2011 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm is offering its Cisco Compatible 1000Base-BX SFP Bidirectional Transceivers which are used in pairs and are designed for bidirectional 1.25 Gbps data rate applications over 9/125 um single mode optical fibers. They are widely used for Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel links, switch to switch interface, switched backplane applications, Router/Server Interface, and other optical transmission systems.

The intelligent Cisco compatible 1000Base-BX SFP bidirectional transceivers, model C015PB01, use standard simplex LC connectors for fiber cable connection and provide a long transmission distance of up to 10 km. They are compliant with SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Specification, SFF-8472 SFP MSA Specification and IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Standard.

The optical transceivers transmit and receive signals on one fiber strand using two wavelengths (1310 nm, 1490 nm). The optical transceivers consist of two sections: the transmitter section uses 1490 nm DFB laser/1310 nm Fabry-Perot laser; the receiver section uses an integrated B type/A type detector preamplifier (IDP) mounted in an optical header and a limiting post-amplifier IC.

The transceivers require 3.3 V power source and feature lower power consumption. They have a transmit power range of -3 to -9 dBm and a receive power range of -1 to -19.5 dBm. In addition, they are equipped with the SFP 20-pin connector allowing hot plug capability.

The 1000Base-BX SFP bidirectional transceivers belong to GAO’s family of Cisco Compatible Transceivers. GAO’s pluggable transceivers offer a convenient and cost effective solution for use in data centers, metropolitan area access and ring networks, and storage area networks. This line includes a wide variety of Cisco compatible transceivers such as Cisco Compatible 1000Base-T GBIC Copper Transceiver (WS-G5483), Cisco Compatible 1000Base-SX GBIC Optical Transceiver (WS-G5484), Cisco Compatible 1000Base-T SFP Transceiver (GLC-T) and other similar products.

Handheld Cable Fault Locator with Automatic Measurement Function

October 20th, 2011 Posted inGAO Comm News

Toronto, Canada – GAO Comm has announced the release of its Cable Fault Locator which utilizes Time Domain Reflection (TDR) technology. Featuring high measuring speed, high accuracy, light weight and durability, it is especially suitable for production, construction, and maintenance test of various cables. It is also used to test underground cables to find impedance break points and locate and reveal cable damage, tie-in dampness and terminal impedance failure in HFC systems.

This easy-to-use handheld cable fault locator, model A0N00019, is able to automatically locate and indicate the distance to many kinds of RF cable faults such as short circuits, open circuits or high resistance points. Its unique zoom in/out functions can locate the failure points precisely. It also tests cables of 25, 50, 75 and 100 ohm impedance within a long measurement range of 15 to 2000 m at accuracy of ±1 m ± 1%.

It displays the cable failure with locus format on the LCD, and shows various measurement details clearly. It has files saving and printing functions making it convenient to manage and contrast the test data. It is powered by a 7.2 V 1.8 AH NI-MH battery which provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation on full charge.

This high-performance cable fault locator belongs to GAO’s family of CATV Meters & Instruments. Some featured products in this line include CATV Analyzer, Handheld Signal Level Meter which is specially designed and manufactured for CATV system installation and testing, and Handheld CATV/QAM Analyzer which features main functions of CATV, QAM and cable modem measurement.
