Xanoptix, Corning Demo Transceiver

MERRIMACK, N.H., and CORNING, N.Y. -- Xanoptix Incorporated and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) recently demonstrated the world’s first optical networking solution to exceed 225 Gb/s over more than 1km of multimode fiber. The demonstration showed video traffic transmitted from a computer server and router, over 1.1km of Corning’s developmental high-bandwidth 50mm fiber, through Xanoptix’s XTM-1ä transceiver and a crossbar switch, back through 1.1km of fiber and out to a series of client computers. The Corning fiber will be the latest addition to the InfiniCor® family of multimode fibers. Xanoptix’s highly parallel XTM-1 optical transceiver is capable of simultaneously connecting 36 transmitting and 36 receiving fibers point-to-point at speeds of 3.125 Gb/s per channel. The XTM-1’s novel 72-fiber ferrule allows for a dense 6x12 array of multimode fibers within a single MT form factor connector.”We were pleased to be able to demonstrate the capabilities of Corning InfiniCor fiber with Xanoptix’s XTM-1 transceiver and a crossbar switch”, stated Kevin Twomey, product line manager, Premises Fiber, Corning Incorporated. “The demonstration clearly shows the performance potential of our developmental high-bandwidth fiber when coupled with other high-performance components such as Xanoptix’s optical networking solution."Xanoptix Inc.Corning Inc.
