| Sumitomo Electric Announces New 8Gbit/s SFP+ Transceivers  Sumitomo Electric Industries has announced the shipment of 8Gbit/s SFP+ optical transceivers for fibre channel (FC) applications. SFP+ is the next-generation transceiver package for 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel applications, at 850nm and 1310nm. "One of the latest significant events to impact the FC market is the availability of the next generation products capable of supporting 8Gbit/s speeds. The migration from 2Gbit/s to 4Gbit/s has already materialized throughout the SAN. As 4Gbit/s transmission speed expands to HBAs, switches will require 8Gbit/s bandwidth. As power consumption increases at the system level, fiber optic solutions will be the preferred choice ahead of copper. We have high hopes for this market", said Ichiro Kono, General Manager of SEI's Optical Transmission Components Division. "The 8Gbit/s SFP+ module further expands our product portfolio providing system designers with flexible options in building out their networks. And the SPP5100 series are fully RoHS compliant supporting for environmental initiatives". SEI is releasing three transceivers in the SPP5100/5101 series: - SPP5100/5101SX for FC-PI-4 using an 850-nm VCSEL for operation over multimode fiber (MMF) at distances up to 150 m. - SPP5100/5101MX for FC-PI-4 using a 1310-nm Fabry-Perot laser for operation over single mode fiber (SMF) at distances up to 1.4km. - SPP5100/5101LXfor FC-PI-4 using a 1310-nm DFB laser for operation over single-mode fiber (SMF) at distances up to 10 km. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
