Corning & Avago Go Long With 40G

March 18, 2013 |
HICKORY, N.C. -- Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, announces that it successfully achieved record-breaking 40G Ethernet transmission over 1,250 meters with the Avago Technologies’ extended-reach transceiver module.

Testing was conducted on Pretium EDGE Solutions with Corning ClearCurve OM4 bend-insensitive multimode fiber at Corning’s Sullivan Park Research and Development Center, near Corning, N.Y. Test results supported 40G Ethernet transmission over a 1,250 m distance with randomly selected Avago Technologies 40G QSFP+ eSR4 transceiver modules, while maintaining a standards-compliant transmission bit error rate (BER) of =< 10^-12.

“EDGE Solutions and the Avago 40G QSFP+ eSR4 transceiver module provide data center customers with extended distance capability compared to distances that can be supported on standard 40G SR4 transceivers and fiber,” said Stuart Hoiness, senior vice president, Enterprise Networks for Corning Cable Systems. “This maximizes the potential of the multimode OM3/OM4 transmission solution, providing a more economical alternative for supporting longer distances than deploying single-mode fiber and 40G LR4 transceivers.”
