MILPITAS, Calif. -- JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) today announced that it will highlight solutions from its optical communications and communications test and measurement portfolios at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference/National Fiber Optics Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) in San Diego, California from February 26 - 28th, 2008. Conference attendees are invited to visit JDSU Booth #2021 during the event to see its latest technology offerings.

JDSU will showcase a variety of optical communications solutions, including:



  • 100G Demonstration -- A live demonstration of 100 gigabytes per second (G) data rate connectivity using parallel optics.

  • Integrated Tunable Laser Assembly (ITLA) -- A cost-effective tunable laser solution for customers who want to incorporate tunability into their networks based on the latest OIF-MSA standard.

  • 7300 Non Return To Zero (NRZ) and Enhanced Return to Zero (ERZ) modulation formats -- Additional modulation formats that give customers the flexibility for multiple deployment options to support 10G data rates within their optical networks.

  • 4900 Pump Laser -- A new pump laser that delivers twice as much power as previous offerings and powers optical amplifiers to enable HDTV, internet, phone, and video-on-demand FTTH services between a service provider's central office and consumer's homes.

  • Raman Circuit Pack -- Raman amplifier circuit pack used within networks to span longer distances than typical node spacing provides.

  • DWDM SFP -- A module that enables 10G data rates within data centers, enterprise LAN and metro access networks. It is designed for both C and L bands, with less than 1W of power dissipation and reach options of 120 and 180 km. It operates at OC-3, 12 and 48 data rates and is RoHS 6 compliant.

  • Multi-Rate XFP -- A multi-data rate transceiver designed for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and SONET/SDH applications. The product operates at industrial temperatures of -40 to 85C, is RoHS 6 compliant and provides best-in-class performance.



Communications test and measurement products on display at OFC/NFOEC 2008 include:



  • Fiber inspection, cleaning and test solutions -- Westover's inspection and cleaning solutions are now part of JDSU -- please visit booth 703 to see the latest additions to the most comprehensive fiber optic solution set available for both lab and field.

  • TestPoint SRS -- New stressed receiver sensitivity (SRS) functionality for the TestPoint 10Gbps product line; SRS is one of the key parameters to ensuring interoperability across 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and Fibre Channel equipment.

  • T-BERD 8000 modules for 4G/10G Fibre Channel and IPTV -- The industry's first field solution to combine 4G and 10G Fibre Channel test support with traditional transport test capabilities such as SONET/SDH, Ethernet and OTN.

  • T-BERD Optical Dispersion Module (ODM) -- The industry's most compact and integrated dispersion solution dedicated to field testing fiber optic networks using the T-BERD/MTS-6000 and T-BERD/MTS-8000 platforms.

  • ONT-503 40/43G -- A compact 40/43G tester that combines lab testing needs with a portable form factor.

  • Pocket-sized testers -- The lightest and smallest power meters and light sources on the market will be on display in booth 703.

  • T-BERD 8000 module for 40G -- An easy-to-use 40G field installation and maintenance tester that weighs less than 18 lbs.

  • T-BERD 8000 ROADM OSA (OSA-320) -- An in-band optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) that incorporates a new method for true optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) measurement in ROADM networks, making it able to test optical performance in the AON.

  • T-BERD OTDRs -- JDSU will display its leading range of OTDRs, including those for CWDM (the industry's first), very short range, short-range LAN, medium range, and long range applications.
