Avago Technologies has released a new form factor for fiber-optic transceivers that enables increased port density in Ethernet and storage equipment.
The new mini-SFP+ (mSFP+) pluggable modules enable 30% greater port density over industry-standard SFP+ transceivers.
The new mSFP+ transceivers incorporate Avago 850-nm Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Laser and PIN detector technology.
The devices are designed for low power consumption with typical dissipation of 0.6W.
