Small form factor for 10Gbit/s Ethernet module
Emcore Corp has released a small form factor version of its successful 10GBase-LX4 (LX4) module, used in 10Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications.
Emcore is a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the broadband, fibre optic, satellite, and solar power markets and has a strong presence in 10Gbit/s Ethernet over legacy multimode fibre applications with its LX4 family of products.
The LRM SFP+ product expands Emcore's 10Gbit/s Ethernet product portfolio into additional market niches and platforms.
The 10Gbase-SFP+ supports up to 220m over legacy multimode fibre and is part of Emcore's strategy to provide a complete suite of modules for legacy multimode customer applications.

Emcore Corp bills its new generation of video transmitters as a dramatic breakthrough in 1550nm video transmission technology.
"As one of the leading suppliers of parallel short -reach and coarse wavelength-division-multiplexed interconnect products, we are excited about expanding our product portfolio to support electronic dispersion compensation for extended reach on multimode fibre under the IEEE 10Gbase-LRM standard", says Dr John Dallesasse, Director of Transceiver Development at Emcore fibre Optics Division.
"This product exploits our strong internal 1300nm emitter and detector technologies, while maintaining a robust multisourcing strategy".
"Customers with legacy multimode fibre now have an option for migrating to 10Gbit/s Ethernet in the high density SFP+ format".
The ERM-7800-SFP is a multimode optical transceiver module for 10Gbit/s Ethernet, based on a low cost Fabry-Perot emitter.
The SFP+ module has a linear receive path to enable the use of electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) in support of the IEEE 802.3aq standard for extended reach on multimode fibre.
"The emerging 10 Gbit/s Ethernet market is expected to grow to over three million ports by 2010", says Dr Tom Tumolillo, Jr, LRM Components Product Manager at Emcore's fibre Optics Division.
"With market adoption beginning in 2007, the share of LRM modules consumed for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet is expected to grow from 10% to 40% by 2010".
"We look forward to supporting this development with our LRM SFP+ module", he added.
The transceiver operates over a wide temperature range of 0 to +70C (case) in the SFP+ form factor to enable high port densities for 10Gbit/s systems.
The module has low power consumption of under 1.5W and is fully compliant with the SFP+ MSA and the IEEE 802.3aq LRM standard.
It is also compliant with the European Union's RoHS 6 requirements.
Emcore's Fabry-Perot based ERM-7800-SFP for 10Gbase-LRM is currently sampling.
A companion product, the DFB based ELR-7400-SFP for 10GBASE-LR and will also begin sampling in both linear and limiting receiver options in Q2, 2007.
