Optical cables slash power needs
Laserwire uses fibre optic technology for the transmission of data while reducing the weight, density and power consumption of copper wire.
Optical products offer copper alternative
The Longwave fibre channel SFP+ 1310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over single-mode fibre.
The transceiver is compatible with the latest DWDM SFP multisource agreement (MSA), established with the help of Finisar.
In addition to the digital diagnostics functions supported in all Finisar SFP transceivers, Finisar's DWDM SFP allows system equipment manufacturers the ability to add additional diagnostics functions for enhanced network monitoring.
"Finisar was the first to market with CWDM GBICs, DWDM GBICs and CWDM SFPs".
"With the addition of the DWDM SFP to our WDM product portfolio, we've taken the next strategic step to address higher density applications", said Atikem Haile-Mariam, Product Marketing Manager for WDM Transceivers.
By using the DWDM SFP, telecommunication equipment manufacturers can reduce optical component design complexities, use fewer dedicated resources, and improve time to market goals.
Telecommunication service providers in turn, will have the flexibility to easily add bandwidth on an as needed basis by using individual DWDM SFPs at customer premises as opposed to line cards dedicated to prespecified wavelengths.
The ability to deploy vastly scalable networks quicker will raise the service providers' potential to capture new metro wavelength services and increase revenue.
Finisar's high-quality telecommunication offering includes a wide range of SFF, SFP, GBIC and XFP transceivers incorporating digital diagnostics functionality and covering all Sonet/SDH rates (OC-3 to OC-192).
Finisar will demonstrate the new DWDM SFP transceiver next week at ECOC in Stockholm, Sweden, booth space 203.
Volume production shipments will begin in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2004.
