The Longwave fibre channel SFP+ 1310nm transceivers support 1.4km and 10km transmission over single-mode fibre.
Finisar is a technology leader and pioneer in gigabit fibre-optic solutions for high-speed data and telecommunications networks.
Capable of operation at the new 8.5Gbit/s Fibre Channel rate, Finisar's 8G transceiver technology will be ideal for use in a wide variety of storage network applications such as host bus adapters (HBAs), Fibre Channel switches and storage systems.
Finisar's 8G SFP transceivers will be fully compatible with the emerging standards within ANSI/INCITS T11.
"We're facilitating the advancement of both storage networking applications and the aggressive drive to bring fibre to extreme temperature locations through our continued commitment to making leading-edge transceiver technology not only possible, but commercially profitable for our customers", said Dave Buse, Finisar's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Also being demonstrated at OFC this year will be the industry's first industrial temperature CWDM GBIC.
Designed to address the requirements of outdoor, fibre-rich architectures in a variety of telecom environments currently used to bring fibre closer to the home, office building or other extreme temperature locations, Finisar's CWDM GBIC is able to withstand operating temperature extremes of -40 to +85C while functioning at speeds up to 2.7Gbit/s.
The industrial temperature CWDM GBIC transceivers include Finisar's patented digital diagnostics, an APD receiver and CWDM DFB lasers available in eight wavelengths.
All Finisar transceivers are enclosed in a metal package reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
