LOS ANGELES -- NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today introduced a new compact and dual rate 100G CFP4 LR4 for Telecom and Datacom applications.

The 100G CFP4 LR4 requires much less power and is half the size compared to the current generation CFP2 form factor. Thus, the 100G CFP4 is an attractive next-generation 100G module for bandwidth hungry data center applications, where both port density and lower power are highly desired.

The 100G CFP4 LR4 transceiver is designed to fully comply with the IEEE 802.3 100GBASE-LR4 and CAUI-4 Electrical Interface and OTN OTU4 standards for links up to 10km. It combines CFP4 MSA and MDIO functionality and is interoperable with previous generation of CFP and CFP2 modules. The 4-channel PIC-based integrated transmitter utilizes NeoPhotonics proven performance and high volume manufacturing platform of 28G EML lasers and drivers, which enable the best in class module performance, especially in OTN applications, inter-operabability and easy deployment.

“The introduction of our new 100G CFP4 LR4 Client transceiver module underlines our commitment to the ultra-high speed segment of the transceiver market,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “We are pleased to support our customers with their growing demand for 100G by adding production capacity for our CFP2 LR4, which was released last year,” continued Tim Jenks.

Also at the Optical Fiber Communications conference and exhibition here, NeoPhotonics is showcasing its 100G Client transceivers alongside its existing product portfolio, including intradyne coherent receivers and narrow linewidth tunable lasers for 100G coherent communications and an extensive line of OLT transceivers for FTTH PON networks.
