Save space with shrinking USB connectors
The new series of mini-BTM USB connectors from Molex take up only about 1/8th of the space of standard USB-B connectors.
They are also designed in accordance with the current revision of the 10GBASE-LX4 specification in IEEE 802.3ae.
'The 1310nm CWDM transceiver for 10 Gigabit Ethernet is the optimal solution for the marketplace since it can be used on either multimode or single-mode fibre.
It also demonstrates a functional link between our product and the Blaze and Pine Photonics optical devices", said Tony Dorin, Vice President, Molex Fibre Optics.
Molex believe this is just another stepping stone towards the broad market acceptance of WWDM-based optics.
The transceivers offered by Molex, Blaze, and Pine are uniquely ideal, as they are a single solution that is compatible with installed legacy multimode fibre, as well as single-mode fibre.
The fact that there are already three sources at this early stage further ensures the customer that the supply channel will be filled as soon as the demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet takes off.
Sampling to customers is expected in late 2001 or early 2002.
