SFP 光模块多元协议

Each party desires to establish internationally compatible sources of a pluggable fiber optic transceiver module in support of standards for fiber optic systems including Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), FDDI, Fibre Channel, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) / Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) applications. Each party further desires to establish uniformity in the industry for the Transceiver “Package Dimensions”, “Cage and Electrical Connector System”, “Host Board Layout”, “Electrical Interfaces”, and “Front Panel Bezel Requirements” as described in Appendices A-B. Each party expects that the establishment of compatible sources for an interchangeable transceiver module will allow the entire fiber optic marketplace to grow more rapidly. This enhanced marketplace growth, customer choice, and vigorous competition are the express purposes of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges this agreement provides a solution with height as a primary limiting constraint and may not provide an optimum solution for applications with different constraints. The parties desire to establish compatible sources for additional products in the future.
