TOULOUSE, France -- Intexys Photonics, specialized in high speed, high density optical interconnection, announced today the introduction of its XP-T1100-12 transmitter and its XP-R1100-12 receiver series for high speed optical interconnect applications.

Based upon its patented and industrial proven flip chip hybridization technology, which results in drastic improvements in circuit density, size and cost, and successfully solves the problems linked to high speed optical interconnections, the company has developed an unique 12 channel * 10Gb/s parallel optical transmitter and receiver, leading-edge in the market.

Intexys Photonics’ 12-channel pluggable fiber-optic transmitter & receiver modules, operating up to 10Gb/s per channel provide high density, high data throughput and a cost effective solution for parallel optical data communication applications like :

Large capacity switches, routers and access, supercomputers Optical backplane rack-to-rack, board-to-board interconnections Mass storage systems interconnection

The XP-T1100-12 & XP-R1100-12 are form factor and pin-out compliant with the industry-standard SNAP12 MSA package. The on-board microcontroller allows to define settings for each channel independently. The product offers versatility with operation of the 12 channels at 4, 8 and 10Gb/s for an aggregate bandwidth up to 120Gb/s.

"The introduction of our first generation parallel optical modules will provide for a breakthrough in performance of high density parallel optical interconnect products at an affordable cost," said Jean-Charles Garcia, CEO of Intexys Photonics.
