SFP breakout board v1 kit
€65.45*
The Osmocom SFP breakout board is exactly what the name implies: A small break-out board for transceivers in SFP form factor.You can use it for e.g.transmitting
your own signals / waveforms (not restricted to Ethernet or CPRI) over
fiber optics. This is e.g. useful if you need galvanic isolation between
digital circuits, or need long-distance transmission e.g. between FPGA
LVDS interfaces.attach some I2C adapter to the I2C pins of the SFP module in order to re-program itThe
SFP transceivers exhibit a symmetric/differencial interface for Rx and
Tx. Each of them is exposed as a pair of SMA connectors, using
differential traces between the SMA connectors and the transceiver
module.If you're interested in transmitting single-ended signals, please see the sfp-experimenter board instead. It's like the SFP breakout board, but contains differential transmitter + receivers.Homepage (includes links to schematics, design files, ...): http://osmocom.org/projects/misc-hardware/wiki/Sfp-breakout This kit includes:Assembled sfp-breakout board (PCB Assembly) like visible on the product pictures4x edge-launch SMA connectors which you still need to solder (very basic soldering skills required)No
actual SFP transceiver module is included. You should be able to use
any module compatible with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement.
SFP experimenter board v2 kit
€65.45*
The Osmocom SFP experimenter board a small circuit board for
experiments with (usually fiber optical) transceivers in SFP form
factor.You can use it for e.g.transmitting your own
signals / waveforms (not restricted to Ethernet or CPRI) over fiber
optics. This is e.g. useful if you need galvanic isolation between
digital circuits, or need long-distance transmissionattach some I2C adapter to the I2C pins of the SFP module in order to re-program itThe
SFP transceivers exhibit a symmetric/differencial interface for Rx and
Tx. The sfp-experimenter board contains an on-board differential
transmitter and receiver so you can transmit/receive normal single-ended
signals.Project Homepage (includes links to schematics, design files, etc.): http://osmocom.org/projects/misc-hardware/wiki/Sfp-experimenterThis kit includesAssembled sfp-experimenter board (PCB Assembly) like visible on the product pictures2x edge-launch SMA connectors which you still need to solder (very basic soldering skills required)No
