The Oclaro TL8000 optical transceiver is a

high-performance, cost-effective full band
tunable transceiver module for serial optical
data communication applications at 10Gb/s.
Similar to XFP-E, the TL8000 is designed to provide
10G SONET/SDH and 10G Ethernet (both with or
without FEC) for 800ps/nm dispersion for
compensated applications or +1600ps/nm
dispersion links for uncompensated applications.
The modules are designed for single mode fibre
applications over the entire C-Band and are
transmission protocol transparent.
The hot
pluggable feature of the module reduces
manufacturing cost, inventory costs and allows
optical port upgrades at the customer premises.
Built-in remote diagnostics monitoring allows user
access to static and dynamic data as well as
module condition.
The TL8000 uses the Oclaro DS-DBR tunable laser
technology and the InP Mach Zehnder modulator.
This design provides for maximum eye opening,
minimized jitter generation, and excellent back
reflection performance. The transmitter is fully
IEC60825-1 and CDRH Class 1 laser eye safety
compliant. The receiver employed is an APD with
excellent sensitivity performance optimized for
noise loaded links and very high damage
threshold.

Mechanical Interface
The SX2 module is a pluggable form factor. The following diagram describes the Oclaro mechanical
dimensions for integration onto a host card. All dimensions are in mm.

NOTE: The case temperature is measured at the hottest point of the heatsink, indicated above. All
specifications are derived using this as the point of reference for case temperature.

This product meets the requirements of the relevant EMC standards (EN 55022, EN 55024, FCC Part 15).
However the EMC performance of the product within the host system may depend on characteristics of
the host system over which Oclaro has no control. It may therefore be necessary to ensure that the host
system provides adequate grounding & shielding of the product.
