Finisar Spews News

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Finisar Corporation (FNSR - News), the technology leader in fiber optic solutions for high-speed networks, today introduced the new 52TR Series 40G Transponders for client-side applications. Available in an ultra-compact (4.5 x 3.5 x 0.53 inch) 300-pin MSA compliant module, this transponder provides the lowest power dissipation and smallest mechanical footprint in the industry. Finisar will display the new 52TR Series 40G Transponders in booth #379 at ECOC in Brussels, September 22-24."As the market leader in high-speed optical communications, we continually strive to create innovative products to support the ever-increasing data rate requirements of our largest telecom customers," said John DeMott, director of product line management at Finisar Corporation. "The introduction of our 40G Ultra-Compact SFF transponder, in particular, is a testament to our commitment and determination to provide consistently market leading, high-performing, quality optical modules."In a separate release:SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Finisar Corporation (FNSR - News), a global technology leader in fiber optic solutions for high speed networks, today announced that it will demonstrate several new technologies at ECOC, including a 40 Gb/s Ethernet optical module over 10km of fiber and an 80km 10G SFP+ module for metro Ethernet applications. These demonstrations reflect Finisar's commitment and leadership to providing the most reliable and cost-effective optical components for high-speed, high-performance communication applications. Demonstrations will take place in Finisar's booth #379 at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Brussels, September 22-24, 2008.A highlight of Finisar's participation at ECOC will be a demonstration of a 40 Gb/s optical module. The module internally couples four 10 Gb/s optical transmitters operating over different CWDM wavelengths into single-mode fiber (SMF). This module will be shown to operate error free over 10km of fiber. The industry is currently standardizing 40G Ethernet (40 GbE) under the IEEE 802.3ba Task Force, and this demonstration shows that a 40GBASE-LR4 10km link can be implemented rapidly and cost-effectively using existing off-the-shelf components."Finisar believes 4x10G CWDM technology provides the fastest time-to-market with the lowest risk for 10km 40G Ethernet," said Rafik Ward, senior director of marketing at Finisar. "4x10G CWDM also delivers the lowest short- and mid-term cost when compared with alternative approaches such as serial 40G. In addition, leveraging existing and future 10G components and technology investment will avoid the need for any new IC or optical component development."In a separate release:SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Finisar Corporation (FNSR - News), a global technology leader in fiber optic solutions for high speed networks, today announced availability of four new 1310nm optical components designed to meet the stringent specifications of high-speed video applications. Based on the emerging SMPTE 424ME standard for 3 Gbps SDI (3G-SDI) data transmissions, these components consist of FP and DFB lasers, and PIN or PIN+TIA receivers. These devices are specifically designed for Satellite and CATV broadcast equipment and modules. These new optical components will be on display at Finisar's booth #379 at ECOC in Brussels, September 22-24.Part of the challenge in designing equipment to 3G-SDI is maintaining a significant jitter injection margin. Analog modulation is required for video applications and is a potential source of loss resulting in reduced video quality. The new 1310nm components are built with Finisar's patented laser and optical assembly technologies, and are designed to withstand the test matrixes called out in the 3G-SDI standard.Finisar's new optical components simplify video equipment development by preserving signal integrity across links so engineers have more margin and therefore greater flexibility in focusing their design resources, resulting in faster time-to-market. In addition, both pigtailed and bulkhead mounted versions are available, giving engineers multiple options in designing broadcast equipment. Low-cost internal manufacturing capabilities also enable Finisar to bring these components to market with competitive pricing."Video applications are vulnerable to quality degradation unless sufficient signal integrity margin is maintained," said Jim Tatum, director of marketing at Finisar's Advanced Optical Components. "Finisar's proven optical technology will help establish its presence in the high-speed video market by enabling its customers to exceed SMPTE 424ME specifications."
