EATONTOWN, N.J. -- Opnext, Inc., a global leader in high-performance optical components, today announced it has extended its line of XENPAK modules with the introduction of the new TRE7061EN, an advanced XENPAK module for Ethernet over DWDM. TRE7061EN can transmit data beyond 80km over the standard single-mode fiber, utilizing a cooled integrated laser modulator (ILM) transmitter and avalanche photodiode (APD) receiver. The wavelength stability is +/- 100pm, which enables 100GHz spacing DWDM operation. Opnext is a technology and market leader in 10Gbit/s Ethernet transceivers, offering a complete portfolio which includes 10G Base- LR and 10G Base-ER, with 10G Base-LX4 and 10G Base-ZR in development.
The Opnext TRE7061EN XENPAK will be showcased at the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) 2004.
In addition to the popular, XAUI-based XENPAK form factor for 10G/bit Ethernet, Opnext also offers a family of solutions in the protocol independent XFP form factor. An XFP occupies as little as one-fifth the space and uses one-half the power of alternative modules. XENPAK transceivers, in conjunction with the ultra-small form factor, low-power XFP module, constitute the most extensive 10G/bit electro-optical solutions in the industry. Based on Opnext's proven interoperability, OEMs can accelerate design cycles, reduce risk and decrease the cost of development for next-generation 10G/bit Ethernet and 10G/bit Fibre Channel (10G/bit FC) links. Seamless interoperability between these high-speed optical and electrical components is critical for system designs at 10G/bit per second and beyond.
"The TRE7061EN is a hot pluggable transceiver module for 10 G/bit DWDM applications over 80km fiber. The hot pluggability maximizes system scalability and increases operational flexibility, enabling our customers to offer systems that minimize the upfront cost of the network," said Vivek Rajgarhia, vice president of product marketing at Opnext, Inc. "Our innovative technology has made the 10G/bit Ethernet solutions affordable, allowing carriers to deploy bandwidth-demanding applications today with an option for future growth"
