Optoelectric transceiver

The Blue Jay Universal Gigabit Transceiver has an integrated SC duplex fiber-optic connector. The optoelectric transceiver has a 10-bit interface for transmit and receive data and can run at both Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, switching back and forth between the two. It features fully software-controllable routing, from 10-bit to copper to fiber-optic cabling, and any combination of the three. Loop-back features enable any interface to be looped back in data communications mode, or for out-of-band circuit testing in live environments. Laser levels are digitally programmable within the device, which features an integrated laser diode driver and post amplifier. The transceiver uses low-frequency reference crystals for retiming and regeneration of the incoming signal. The device also has built-in clock recovery and byte framing, and needs 3.3V to operate. The unit is priced under $100 in quantities of 10,000.
