Using TriQuint's cooled laser technology with internal wavelength control management, the DWDM SFP transceivers address the growing challenges of fibre exhaust and provide an upgrade path to DWDM at significantly reduced upfront costs.
The "plugability" of an SFP DWDM transceiver offers several advantages over the complexities of the more costly tunable laser technologies.
Wavelength management is as simple as plugging in a transceiver of the required wavelength.
Because TriQuint DWDM SFP transceivers are compatible with the power dissipation requirements of existing SFP sockets, customers may offer an upgrade path for new systems as well as those already installed.
This upgrade path significantly lowers the upfront investment required to implement DWDM capability.
The new SFP transceivers target DWDM interfaces up to 2.5Gbit/s with 100GHz spacing and high wavelength stability.
With a high performance APD receiver and a typical launch power of 2 to 3dBm, total transceiver power dissipation is typically under 1W.
The transceivers operate from 0 to 70C, thereby meeting SFP cage system power dissipation limitations.
The DWDM SFP transceivers are offered with digital diagnostic monitoring per the SFF-8472 standard and are available with TriQuint's robust, colour-coded bail latch, which prevents in-service removal and operates in all faceplate designs.
TriQuint's cooled DWDM SFP is the latest addition to a complete portfolio of SFP transceivers, in both TDM and CWDM versions, for Sonet/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications.
Samples of the NetLight DWDM SFP transceivers will be available for evaluation in Q2 2004, with volume production beginning in Q3 2004.
