The Longwave fibre channel SFP+ 1310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over single-mode fibre.
The FTRJ1621 is available in the pluggable SFP form factor, which includes an internally powered APD receiver as well as Finisar's "bail" latching mechanism.
They support Finisar's "SmartSFP" digital diagnostics and monitoring functions, which are accessed through a 2-pin serial bus fully compatible with serial ID as defined by the SFP MSA.
These digital diagnostic functions, which are being standardised by the SFF Committee under SFF-8472, provide calibrated, absolute real-time measurements of the laser bias current, transmitted optical power, received optical power, internal transceiver temperature and the supply voltage.
Digital diagnostic functionality allows telecommunications and data communications companies to implement reliable performance monitoring of the optical link in a very accurate and cost-effective way.
"We are very excited to be able to support long-reach Sonet links on a small form factor pluggable transceiver", said Christian Urricariet, Director of Product Marketing at Finisar.
"This addition to our Sonet/SDH transceiver product line is an important step in our goal of bringing the economies of scale of the datacommunications world into the telecommunications marketplace", he added.
Finisar will be showing the FTRJ1621 optical transceivers at ECOC.
