HSIN-CHU, TAIWAN AND CHATSWORTH, CA –
March 1, 2006 – LuminentOIC, a leading
supplier of metro & access transceivers and Fiber-to-the-Premise solutions,
today announced the availability of the industry’s first
200-km reach DWDM SFP
transceivers.
LuminentOIC has been shipping 80-km and 120-km DWDM SFP products in volume since
mid-2005, and now introduces an extended-reach 200-km product. In addition to
achieving a longer fiber span, all DWDM SFP products are now available in both a
standard and a high output power version, enabling a larger optical budget of
31dB. LuminentOIC’s 200-km reach DWDM SFP product will be on display at Optical
Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC) in Anaheim, CA from March
7-9, booth #1601.
The pluggable form-factor translates to significant advantages for system
manufacturers in terms of time-to-market, configuration flexibility, and
inventory management. While initial applications have primarily been in metro
access systems, DWDM SFPs are now starting to find opportunities as replacement
for fixed discrete optics in longer-reach systems.
“We have experienced great customer interest in our DWDM SFP, benefiting from
being first to market. Demand has consistently beat expectations, and we have
been shipping in production volumes since last year. The longer-reach product is
a natural progression in response to emerging customer demand, and builds on the
established design and manufacturing infrastructure”, Thomas Liljeberg, Director
of PLM, Transceivers.
LuminentOIC’s 200-km reach DWDM SFP product is available for sampling now with
volume production starting in the second quarter 2006.
