Description
The 1417G4A and 1417H4A transceivers are high-
speed, cost-effective optical transceivers that are
compliant with the International Telecommunication
Union Telecommunication (ITU-T) G.957 specifica-
tions for use in ATM, SONET, and SDH applications.
The 1417G4A operates at the OC-3/STM-1 rate of
155 Mbits/s, and the 1417H4A operates at the
OC-12/STM-4 rate of 622 Mbits/s. The transceivers
feature Agere Systems’ high-reliability optics and are
packaged in a narrow-width plastic housing with an
LC duplex receptacle. This receptacle fits into an RJ-
45 form factor outline. The 10-pin package and
pinout conform to a multisource transceiver agree-
ment.
The transmitter features differential PECL logic level
data inputs and a TTL logic level disable input. The
receiver features differential PECL logic level data
and a PECL logic level signal-detect output for the
1417G4A, and a TTL logic level signal-detect output
for the 1417H4A.
