SEPTEMBER 26, 2006 -- Finisar Corp. (search for Finisar) is demonstrating a low-power 10-Gigabit Ethernet small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver at ECOC 2006. The company is also demonstrating its 40-Gbit/sec short-reach transponder and displaying its portfolio of fully compliant RoHS lead-free products.
Finisar's 850-nm 10G SFP transceiver is designed in accordance with the emerging SFP+ standard, currently being developed by the Small Form Factor Committee. It is similar in size to current 1.25-Gbit/sec SFP transceivers while operating at 10.3 Gbits/sec with a power dissipation of less than 1 W.
"Our customers have come to rely on Finisar as a technology leader in high-speed optical communications and we are committed to delivering innovative products to meet their needs," said Christian Urricariet, marketing director for high-speed optics at Finisar. "As the world's largest supplier of SFP optical transceivers in the world, we look forward to broadening our SFP portfolio into 10G."
Finisar also is showing its latest 40-Gbit/sec short-reach transponder, which provides high-speed optical transport with exceptionally low jitter generation and outstanding receiver sensitivity performance, according to the company. The transponder supports VSR client-side applications for systems such as core routers and SONET/SDH transmission equipment.
