www.fastertechnology.com FM-S18 Octal SFP/SFP+ transceiver FMC Octal fiber-optic and/or copper interfaces for Gigabit Ethernet and other high- speed serial protocols Features Industry standard, modular FPGA I/O in FMC (VITA 57) module High-speed serial fiber optic or copper connec- tions into an FPGAs MGT interfaces Two quad-SFP cage supports eight (8) SFP/ SFP+ transceiver modules FMC compatible Supports wide range of SFP and SFP+ trans- ceivers with signaling rates up to 10Gb/sec 2.5 volt signaling The FM-S18 is electrically compliant with the FMC Two programmable reference clocks standard. Due to the size of the quad SFP cages, the FM-S18 is classified as a mechanical superset of the FMC mechanical standards. Special attention Benefits should be paid to ensure that the FM-S18 is me- chanically compatible if used with non-supported Direct connections between SFP/SFP+ trans- host carrier cards. ceivers and host FPGA ensures maximum throughput and minimum latency Easily interfaces high-density, high-speed I/O to SFP Transceivers FPGA-based host board The FM-S18 imposes no restrictions on SFP/SFP+ 2.5V signaling ensure compatibility with Virtex-6 transceivers any SFP/SFP+ transceiver that com- FPGAs plies with the SFP or SFP+ Multi-Source Agree- ments (MSAs) can be mounted on the FM-S18.
