Stratos Gets With Infiniband

PALM BAY, Fla. -- Stratos Lightwave, Inc. is announcing the availability of RJ Format optical transceivers for use with the new InfiniBand communications standard. Operating at 2.5Gb/s, these transceivers -- and this new communications standard -- are intended to provide better input/output performance in heavy-traffic environments such as servers, remote storage devices, and within multi-processor systems. Stratos offers these InfiniBand high-density RJ Format optical transceivers in two new form factors: A single-port and quad-port RJ-style package are available with duplex LC connector interfaces at each port. Each package style will be available for 850nm VCSEL multimode optical fiber applications with link distances up to 250 meters, and 1310nm Fabry-Perot Laser single mode optical fiber applications for link distances up to 10 kilometers. These RJ Format optical transceivers exhibit exceptionally low levels of jitter over the full Bellcore / Telcordia operating temperature range of -40 degrees to +85 degrees C enabling their use in rough service industrial or outdoor applications.
