There are two versions in full production; a single wavelength module (SLB138H) compliant with ITU G659 standards and a 100GHz DWDM module (SLB1D8H-C) for higher capacity applications. Both modules are fully compliant with the MSA 4.0 standards, allowing multirate operation from 9.95 to 11.1Gbit/s.
Both use cooled 1550nm EML modulators to produce excellent chirp characteristics and dispersion penalties better than 1dB.
'Even though Sigma Links is a relatively new name for the European Market' says Simon Richardson, Product Manager, at Fujikura Europe.
'It is a leading brand in the Asian market fully backed by our parent company Fujikura, with established large scale production for both XFP and the 300PIN modules'.

'Our objective is to replicate that success within the European market using the LR XFP modules as an excellent platform to launch this drive'.
Sigma Links, previously a joint venture brand with Oki Semiconductors, is now 100% owned by Fujikura.
'Our continuing close relationship with Oki allows us to incorporate many bespoke components within the XFP modules which facilitates quick delivery schedules and enables greater technical control of performance critical components', adds Richardson.
'In-house APDs for example, have allowed us to achieve excellent sensitivities of better than -26dBm'.
'Plus excellent temperature performance is achieved with power consumption less than 4W at 60C and below 3W from room temperature to -20C'.
