DESCRIPTION
FDDI PMD, ATM and Fast Ethernet 2-km Backbone Links The AFBR-5803Z/5803TZ are 1300-nm products with optical performance compliant with the FDDI PMD standard. These transceivers for 2-km multimode fiber backbones are supplied in the small 1 × 9 duplex SC or ST package style. The AFBR-5803Z/5803TZ is useful for both ATM 100 Mb/s interfaces and Fast Ethernet 100BASE-FX interfaces. The ATM Forum User-Network Interface (UNI) Standard, Version 3.0, defines the Physical Layer for 100-Mb/s Multimode Fiber Interface for ATM in Section 2.3 to be the FDDI PMD Standard. Likewise, the Fast Ethernet Alliance defines the Physical Layer for 100BASE-FX for Fast Ethernet to be the FDDI PMD Standard. ATM applications for physical layers other than 100-Mb/s Multimode Fiber Interface are supported by Broadcom. Products are available for both the single mode and the multi-mode fiber SONET OC-3c (STS-3c) ATM interfaces and the 155 Mb/s-194 MBd multi-mode fiber ATM interface as specified in the ATM Forum UNI.
