21 August 2003 Santa Clara, CA Lightwave -- Fiberxon Inc. says it will release a multi-rate CWDM SFP transceiver FTM-6128C-S80xx October 1. The device will provide an enhanced monitoring interface compliant with SFF-8472.

This transceiver is designed CWDM application at data rates from 155 Mbits/sec to 2.67 Gbits/sec. It will be available in eight standard CWDM wavelength channels (1470 nm to 1610 nm) and offer a guaranteed minimum optical link budget of 28 dB.

The monitoring interface will allow real time measurement of key operation parameters of the transceiver such as optical input and output power, supply voltage, bias current, and module temperature, thus enabling customers to monitor and manage system performance.
