AOI Launches Optical Transceiver for Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Posted on: Wednesday, 9 January 2008, 09:00 CST
Fiber optic communications systems provider Applied Optoelectronics has launched a family of small-form-factor pluggable optical transceivers for the coarse wavelength division multiplexed networks.
According to the company, the transceivers provide speed of up to 4.5Gbps and an operating temperature range of -40 degrees centigrade to +85 degrees centigrade.
"Minimizing wavelength drift in the new family of coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) transceivers was a significant challenge, and AOI's combination of chip and module capabilities enabled this latest enhancement of our small form-factor pluggable (SFP) product line," said Chau-Hong Kuo, product manager of transceiver products at AOI. "The enhanced operating temperature range CWDM transceivers add to our industry-leading suite of robust, highly reliable products for demanding applications."
The company said that the product is compliant with SFP multi-source agreement, FC-PI 13.0, digital diagnostic SFF-8472 and GR 468 reliability specifications and features a serial ID functionality support. It is offered at wavelengths specified in the ITU-standard CWDM grid.
According to research conducted by Lightcounting, the global market for optical transceivers is expected to grow at CAGR of 12% to reach $2.8 billion in 2010.
In August 2007, the company launched two new fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers for CWDM and DWDM 4 gigabit fiber channel. The transceivers can provide up to the 400MB/4.25Gbps rate for 80 km link distances, the company claimed.
