Agilent HFBR-5601/HFCT-5611
Gigabit Interface Converters
(GBIC) for Gigabit Ethernet
Data Sheet
Description
The HFBR-56xx/HFCT-56xx
family of interface converters
meet the Gigabit Interface
Converter specification Rev. 5.4,
an industry standard. The family
provides a uniform form factor for
a wide variety of standard
connections to transmission
media. The converters can be
inserted or removed from a host
chassis without removing power
from the host system.
The converters are suitable for
interconnections in the Gigabit
Ethernet hubs and switches
environment. The design of these
converters is also practical for
other high performance, point-to-
point communication requiring
gigabit interconnections. Since
the converters are hot-pluggable,
they allow system configuration
changes simply by plugging in a
different type of converter.
The mechanical and electrical
interfaces of these converters to
the host system are identical for
all implementations of the
converter regardless of external
media type. A 20-pin connector is
used to connect the converter to
the host system. Surge currents
are eliminated by using pin
sequencing at this connector and
a slow start circuit. Two ground
tabs at this connector also make
contact before any other pins,
discharging possible component-
damaging static electricity. In
addition, the connector itself
performs a two-stage contact
sequence. Operational signals and
power supply ground make
contact in stage 1 while power
makes contact in stage 2.
The HFBR-5601 has been
developed with 850 nm short
wavelength VCSEL technology
while the HFCT-5611 is based on
1300 nm long wavelength Fabry
Perot laser technology.
