Bookham is to launch a new family of 10Gbit/s XFP SR transceiver modules at this week's OFC/NFOEC
The transceiver doubles the output power of the standard Bookham DWDM SFP, extending the unamplified reach by 33%. The product, which is being demonstrated at the Bookham stand (number 2125), has an output power range of +4 to +7dBm, 100GHz channel spacing and full C and L band coverage. The transceiver will provide equipment vendors with the ability to support Sonet/SDH, Ethernet and Fibre Channel with one product, and is capable of transmitting at rates from 155Mbit/s to 4.25Gbit/s.
'By increasing the optical power output of the Bookham DWDM SFP, we are extending the capability of this one product to support a wide range of application needs; especially those relating to rapidly emerging Ethernet over DWDM transport systems', said Richard Baldey, Product Line Manager at Bookham.
'We believe that we are one of only a few suppliers able to achieve such a range of datarates and reaches, giving customers scalability and flexibility while simplifying logistics and inventory costs'.
'This capability can now be achieved across much longer links, offering a further opportunity for customers to reduce costs'.
