Fibre channel and SCSI specialist Selectronix has released what is claimed to be the world's first dual-port fibre optic Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC).
"The Stratos SFP family provides the flexibility and upgradability of a hot-pluggable removable module and is interchangeable with all MSA compatible equipment.
The ability to remove and replace the modules while the system is fully operational eases in-field reconfiguration and service operations and is ideal for critical networking and telecommunications systems".
The Stratos SFP module ensures low emissions and high thermal management performance, the company says.
Versions are available for 1.0625 and 2.125Gbit/s Fibre Channel and 1.25Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet and 2.488Gbit/s ATM OC-48.
The SFP module uses the new 'LC' fibre optic connector standard and is part of the range of LC compatible accessories and cable assemblies supplied by Selectronix, the company adds.
