Civcom’s MLR module is a small size long reach widely tunable transceiver designed for DWDM applications. The transceiver contains both a 10 Gbps widely tunable transmitter and a wide band high sensitivity receiver. 

The MLR module interface is compatible with the 300-pin MSA and I²C interface. The MLR module uses a widely tunable laser to tune and cover the entire C-Band. 

The MLR module uses a Negative or zero- chirp Mach Zehnder indium phosphate modulator to enable high performance under OSNR load across the entire C-Band and over long distances.
A configurable CDR is used to support the following data rates: 1.06/1.25/2.12/4.25/8.5/10.3/10.5Gbps. 

The module has 3 modes of operation:
Normal mode: the client Rx side is connected to the line Tx side, and the Client Tx side is connected to the line Rx side.
Line loop back mode: Line Rx side is connected to the line Tx side.
Diagnostic loop back mode: Client Rx side is connected to the Client Tx side.
A sensitive PIN or APD receiver converts optical to electrical signal and feeds the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit. The MLR module supports 50GHz ITU grid wavelength spacing. Tuning the transceiver laser is made possible through standard I²C commands.
The client side supports standard SFP+ or SFP pluggable transceiver.
