| EMCORE Announces 20 Gbps DDR SmartLink Optical Media Converter EMCORE Corporation has announced that it has begun sampling its new QTR 3500 SmartLink Double Data Rate (DDR) Optical Media Converter (OMC). This product marks the next generation of copper-to-fiber media converters with 20 Gbps bandwidth and 150m extended reach capability for InfiniBand, Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications. The QTR 3500 allows IT managers a solution to extend their data link distances from the standard 15m over 4x copper cable to 150m using industry standard MTP/MPO optical cable. The SmartLink electrical interface mates directly into industry standard MDI electrical sockets used in 4x DDR Infiniband and CX4 applications. The SmartLink is field upgradeable and provides a unique pay as you go solution. The scalable 20 Gbps net bandwidth is transmitted with four full-duplex transmit and receive channels that are transparent to the user. In addition, the 1 Watt power dissipation of the media converter provides the smallest and most power efficient electrical to optical solution available. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
