Quake Demos 10-Gbit/s PHY

OTTAWA, and SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Quake Technologies, Inc., the leading supplier of 10Gb/s Ethernet physical layer ICs, announced today that it will demonstrate the QT2032, the lowest power LAN/WAN PHY IC for 10Gb/s Ethernet, in collaboration with Opnext at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Glasgow, Scotland. The demonstration takes place in Opnext booth #209.

The QT2032 is shown as part of a metropolitan DWDM network architecture. The QT2032 drives the Opnext TRF7050 XFP module and uses its built-in packet generators and checkers to provide LAN/WAN traffic for the network.

"The QT2032 is an integral part of our DWDM network demonstration," said Ed Cornejo, Director of Product Marketing at Opnext. "The Quake QT2032 is an ideal solution for OEMs who want to seamlessly support both LAN and WAN applications."

About the QT2032

The QT2032 is Quake Technologies' third generation XFI-to-XAUI PHY IC for 10Gb/s Ethernet. The QT2032 enables Ethernet traffic over LAN or SONET/SDH and WDM WAN networks with its SONET-compliant jitter performance and extensive feature set. Interoperability is ensured by field trials over existing LAN/WAN networks.

The QT2032's unique combination of low 900mW power dissipation, single 1.2V supply and selectable LAN/WAN operation makes it ideal for next-generation high-density system cards with tight power and space constraints. OEMs have the flexibility to design one card that operates in both LAN and WAN applications.

The QT2032 is in production now. Please contact Quake Technologies at [email protected] for availability and pricing of the QT2032 and the QT2032/XFP Reference Board.
