Dublin, Ca. -- Blaze Network Products, a leading supplier of optical sub-systems based on Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology; Molex Fiber Optics, a division of Molex Incorporated, one of the industry's leading global suppliers of optical transceivers and interconnects; and Pine Photonics, a leading provider of transmission and amplification modules for the optical networking industry, announced they have successfully completed interoperability testing between their 1310nm WWDM-based transceivers designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The Molex, Blaze and Pine Photonics 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers are packaged in the XENPAK MSA form factor, which provides the greatest amount of flexibility for networking equipment configurations. They are designed in accordance with the current revision of the 10GBASE-LX4 specification in IEEE 802.3ae. "We felt that it was important to go ahead with the interoperability testing with Molex and Pine Photonics to prove out the technical feasibility of CWDM-based optical transceivers," said Kirk Bovill, Director of Product Marketing at Blaze.Blaze Network Products Inc.Molex Inc.
