Opnext will feature the following demonstrations at the exhibition:
-- 43G Tunable 5x7" 300-pin Transponder using phase shift keying and incorporating the SFI-5 interface for DWDM applications: Demonstrating this technology will be the Opnext TRV7BB0. This transponder makes possible the move from discrete components to an integrated solution for up to 43G line-side applications.
-- Opnext will also demonstrate the industry's broadest portfolio of SFP+ extended reach modules. The compact size and low power consumption of these SFP+ transceivers enable system designers to increase the density of high speed networking systems. For Storage Area Networks, Opnext offers a full range of 8GFC modules. Additionally, Opnext's portfolio covers 10GbE SFP+ modules ranging from long reach single mode fiber applications to short reach multimode fiber transmission as well as long reach multimode (LRM) and even a cost effective ultra short reach option. These transceivers offer exceptional optical, EMI, jitter and power consumption performance for additional flexibility in system design.
"Opnext understands that its customers must balance performance, cost, and power across a diverse profile of networks," said James Horiuchi, senior vice president of global sales at Opnext. "Not only does Opnext offer the most 10G options available on the market to enable developers to optimize their system offerings, its high-capacity manufacturing capabilities and robust laser technology guarantee the highest reliability for the lowest cost."
Further MSA-compliant modules on display during ECOC 2008 will include:
10Gbit/s Modules: Opnext's full lineup of 300-pin transponders and XENPAK transceivers covers all applications, from legacy multimode fiber to long reach (80km and WDM). The X2 transceiver is a follow on to XENPAK and has been adopted by major enterprise switch manufacturers. X2 transceiver power consumption is about half that of XENPAK in a smaller footprint that can be used for legacy multimode fiber to long reach single mode fiber (80km and WDM). The XFP transceiver is a follow on to 300pin TDM and some DWDM applications. The XFP transceiver has been widely adopted by the telecommunications community. Opnext is a technology and market leader in 10Gbit/s transceivers, offering a complete portfolio which includes short reach copper, 220-300m MMF serial, 2-10km SMF serial, 40km, 80km, fixed and tunable DWDM.
40Gbit/s Modules: Pushing the envelope of speed and technology, Opnext has complemented its strong short reach client side modules with the introduction of TRV7BA0 (PSBT) and TRV7BB0 (DPSK) 40G DWDM metropolitan, regional and long haul solutions. The new modules are fully compliant to the 300-pin MSA and ITU-T G.693 for Optical Interface, OIF SFI-5 standards and include a MUX/DMUX for Optical Interface with STM and 300-pin MSA connector and pin assignment enabling easy module upgrades. The 40G product family is built upon Opnext's proven optical device technology.
SFP: Opnext's SFP portfolio covers all standard bit rates and protocols, from GbE and FC, to 155Mbit/s, 622Mbit/s and 2.5Gbit/s for SONET, SDH and ATM applications. The distances supported range from short multimode fiber applications, for the GbE and FC protocols, up to 80km and beyond for the single mode fiber SONET, SDH and GbE protocols. Opnext also offers SFP modules for metropolitan DWDM networks up to 200km without dispersion compensation. The transceiver designs have been optimized for cost and performance, can operate across extended temperature ranges, and provide advanced real-time performance monitoring capabilities.
Harry Bosco, Opnext president and CEO, will be presenting at the ECOC Market Focus on Wednesday, September 24th at 10:00. The session will focus on "40 and 100Gb/s Transport." For more information about the ECOC Market Focus, visit: www.ecocexhibition.com.
Opnext will be located at Stand #227 at ECOC 2008 being held September 22-24, at the Brussels Exposition Center, Brussels, Belgium.
