Solid-state attenuators aid network reliability
Bookham Technology has launched two new products designed for use in the metro and long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) markets.
The IGF-42312 is a multi-protocol 10km reach transceiver that supports Sonet/SDH SR-1/I-64.1, 10G Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel applications, including FEC rates.
The IGF-42312 has surpassed a 1000-hour interim phase of the rigorous Telcordia "Generic reliability assurance requirements for optoelectronic devices used in telecommunications" - GR-468-Core - qualification testing, with products now shipping under controlled availability.
"Bookham's extended temperature XFP modules allow our customers to increase their port count without having to worry about the thermal ramifications".
"Higher density translates to a lower cost-per-port solution for their customers", said Eugene Park, Product Line Manager of Pluggable Transceivers at Bookham.
Bookham has also announced the completion of Telcordia GR-468-Core qualification testing for two of its 40km XFP transceiver products, designed for metro carrier, enterprise and storage networking applications.
The IGF-32511 is a multiprotocol 1550nm transceiver that supports Sonet/SDH IR-2/S-64.2b, 10G Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel applications.
The IGF-17511 is a 1550nm transceiver, used exclusively for 10G Ethernet applications, which meets the 10GBase-ER/EW specification.
Both hot-pluggable XFP MSA transceivers are currently shipping in volume.
"Adding these transceivers to our growing list of qualified XFP products, which includes our 10km gigabit Ethernet and Sonet/SDH transceivers, reflects the level of quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect from Bookham", Park added.
