The Longwave fibre channel SFP+ 1310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over single-mode fibre.
"We have a long and successful history of optical innovation at Finisar, and the development of the industrial temperature CWDM GBIC is the latest example of our long-term commitment to continually offer value to our customers", stated Atikem Haile-Mariam, Product Marketing Manager for WDM Transceivers for Finisar.
"This particular solution was designed to address the requirements of outdoor fibre-rich architectures in a variety of telecom environments currently underway to bring fibre closer to the home, office building or other extreme temperature locations".
The industrial temperature CWDM GBIC transceivers include Finisar's patented digital diagnostics, an avalanche photodiode (APD) receiver and CWDM distributed feedback (DFB) lasers available in eight wavelengths.
All Finisar transceivers are enclosed in a metal package reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Finisar's WDM product family includes optical transceivers, passive optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) and multiplexers/demultiplexers providing optical support for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and Sonet/SDH applications.
Finisar also offers a broad range of SFP, SFF, GBIC, 1x9 and XFP transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Sonet/SDH, 1000Base-T and 1000Base-CX applications.
