NOTE:

•The available transceiver modules vary by HP Comware-Based device models and are subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date list of transceiver modules, contact your HP sales representative or technical support engineer.

•For information about the transceiver modules available for each HP Comware-Based device model, see the installation guides.

Fiber transceiver modules

Fiber modules transmit signals over optical fibers. Optical transmission features low loss and is fit for long distance transmission.

The HP Comware-Based devices support fiber transceiver module models of different specifications. You can choose fiber transceiver modules as needed for data transmission over optical fibers.

The fiber transceiver modules include optical transmitters, optical receivers, transceivers, and transponders.

The HP Comware-Based devices support transceivers. Transceivers are mainly used for optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversions and provide the following functions: optical

3

power control, modulation transmission, signal probe, IV conversion, and limiting amplifier and decision regeneration. In addition, transceivers provide some other functions, such as counterfeit-prevention query and TX-disable. Common transceivers include XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+.

Data rate

Data rate is the number of bits transmitted per second. The unit of measure for data rate is Megabits per second (Mbps) or Gigabits per second (Gbps). Fiber transceiver modules available for HP Comware-Based devices mainly provide the following levels of data rates: 100 Mbps, 155 Mbps, 622 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, 2.5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps.

Transmission distance

The transmission distance of fiber transceiver modules is divided into short and long-range types. A distance of 2 km (1.24 miles) and below is generally considered as short-range type. 10 km (6.21 miles) is considered as long-range type.

Transmission distances provided by fiber transceiver modules are mainly limited by certain loss and dispersion suffered during the transmission of fiber signals over fibers.

•Loss is the optical energy loss due to the absorption, dispersion and leakage over the media when light travels through optical fibers. This loss increases in direct ratio to transmission distance.

•Dispersion happens mainly because electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths travel at different rates over the same medium, causing different wave components of optical signals to reach the receiving end early or late as the transmission distance increases, which in turn causes impulse broadening, making the signal values indistinguishable.

To meet different transmission distance requirements, choose suitable fiber transceiver modules according to actual networking conditions.

Central wavelength

Central wavelength represents the wave band used for optical signal transmission. The following central wavelengths are available for common fiber transceiver modules: 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm, respectively representing three wavebands.

•The 850 nm wave band is used for short-reach transmission.

•The 1310 nm and 1550 nm wave bands are used for middle-reach and long-haul transmissions.

Fiber

Fiber types

Fibers are classified as multimode fibers and single-mode fibers.

•Multimode fibers

Multimode fibers (MMFs) have thicker fiber cores and can transport light in multiple modes. However, the intermodal dispersion is greater and worsens as the transmission distance increases.

Multimode fibers can be classified into multiple grades according to their diameters and modal bandwidth. For more information, see Table 2. The modal bandwidth of a multimode fiber is determined by the expression the modulation frequency of the maximum modulation frequency

4

pulse that can pass a fiber × the fiber length. The modal bandwidth is a comprehensive index reflecting the optical characteristics of a multimode fiber.

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) defines multimode fiber types in its G series standards. The commonly-used multimode fiber is defined in the ITU G.651 standard. The G.651-compliant fiber transmits light at the wavelength range 800 nm to 900 nm or 1200 nm to 1350 nm.

Table 2 Multimode fiber grades

	Fiber mode	Fiber grade	Fiber diameter (μm)	Modal bandwidth at
				850 nm (MHz*km)
		OM1	62.5/125	200
	Multimode fiber	OM2	50/125	500
		OM3	50/125	2000

Other factors that influence the transmission distance of multimode fibers include interface type, central wavelength, and fiber grade. For more information, see Table 3.

Table 3 Multimode fiber specifications

	Interface type	Central	Fiber grade	Transmission distance
		wavelength (nm)
	1000BASE-SX	850	OM1	< 275 m (902.23 ft)
			OM2	< 550 m (1804.46 ft)
			OM1	< 33 m (108.27 ft)
	10GBASE-SR	850	OM2	< 82 m (269.03 ft)
			OM3	< 300 m (984.25 ft)
			OM1	< 220 m (721.78 ft)
	10GBASE-LRM	1310	OM2	< 220 m (721.78 ft)
			OM3	< 220 m (721.78 ft)

•Single-mode fibers

Single-mode fibers (SMFs) have a small core size, typically 9 μm or 10 μm, and can transmit light in only one mode. Single-mode fibers suffer little intermodal dispersion and are suitable for long-haul communication. Single-mode fibers transmit light at the central wavelength of 1310 nm or 1550 nm.

Telecommunication Industries Alliance (TIA)/Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) defines that single-mode fibers use yellow outer jackets with the mark "SM".

ITU defines single-mode fiber types in its G series standards. The mostly-commonly used single-mode fibers are defined in ITU G.652 and G.655 standards. Table 4 describes features of the G.652 and G.655-compliant fibers.

Fiber diameter

Fiber diameter is expressed as core diameter/cladding diameter, in μm. For example, 9/125 μm means the fiber core diameter is 9 μm and the fiber cladding diameter is 125 μm.

For the HP Comware-Based devices, the following fiber diameters are recommended:

•G.652 standard single-mode fiber—9/125 μm.

•G.655 single-mode fiber—9/125 μm.

•G.651 standard multimode fiber—50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm.

Connector

CAUTION:

Cover the connector with a dust cap when it is not connected to any optical fiber.

Connectors connect transceiver modules to the corresponding transmission media. The transceiver modules available for the HP Comware-Based devices use the following types of connectors:

•Lucent connector or local connector (LC).

•Multi-fiber Push On connector (MPO).

Optical parameters

NOTE:

Average transmit and receive power ranges are provided for transceiver modules in this guide.

Transmit power

Transmit power is the power at which the transmitter of a fiber transceiver module transmits optical signals, in dBm.

Receive power

Receive power is the power at which the receiver of a fiber transceiver module receives optical signals, in dBm.

Copper transceiver modules

Copper transceiver modules transmit signals over Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP). UTP transmission cover shorter distances than fiber transmission and can be used in small-sized networks only.

The HP Comware-Based devices support the HP X120 1G SFP RJ45 T Transceiver (JD089B) copper transceiver modules.

Transmission distance

Through UTP cables, signals can be transmitted over a distance of 100 m (328.08 ft.) only. This is because signals attenuate during transmission through the UTP cables.

Attenuation refers to the dissipation of the power of a transmitted signal as it travels over a cable. Attenuation occurs because signal transmission suffers certain resistance from the cable, which weakens the signals as they travel over the cable. When signals are transmitted over a very long distance, signal strength decreases significantly, causing the signal-to-noise ratio to drop below the accepted level. This makes it impossible to distinguish between signals and noise, resulting in decision errors.

When signals are to be transmitted over a short distance, use copper transceiver modules only.

Connector

Registered Jack-45 (RJ-45) twisted pair connectors are used as connectors for copper transceiver modules.
