AFBR-800EVK and AFBR-800EVB
MiniPOD Evaluation Kit and Evaluation Board
For MiniPOD Pluggable Parallel-Fiber-Optics Modules
User Guide
Introduction
The purpose of this evaluation kit an evaluation board is
to provide the designer with a convenient way to evaluate
the electrical and optical performance of the Avago
Technologies’ Twelve-Channel MiniPOD transmitter and
receiver modules. This user guide off ers a description
of the AFBR-800EVB evaluation board along with basic
operating instructions.
The AFBR-800EVB Evaluation Rev. 4 board is to be used in
conjunction with the Avago Technologies AFBR-81uVxyZ
and AFBR-82uVxyZ family of Tx and Rx MiniPOD modules.
The AFBR-81uVxyZ and AFBR-82uVxyZ are twelve-chan-
nel, pluggable, parallel, fi ber-optic MiniPOD transmitter
and receiver modules, respectively. These high perfor-
mance modules are intended for short-range multi-lane
data communication and interconnect applications.
Twelve data lanes transport greater than 120 Gbps
aggregate bandwidth. Each lane can operate at 10.3125
Gbps up to 100 m using OM3 fi ber. These modules are
designed to operate over multimode fi ber systems using
a nominal wavelength of 850nm. The electrical interface
uses a 9x9 MEG-Array connector with 1.27 mm pitch and
4mm contact mate height. The optical interface uses
a 12-fi ber Prizm™ to MPO/MTP connector (included in
the kit). These modules incorporate Avago Technolo-
gies’ proven integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to
provide reliable long life, high performance, and consis-
tent operation.
