SAN JOSE, Calif., March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of
optical communications solutions, today announced two new
industrial temperature (I-temp) transceivers designed to drive the
market transition to 5G wireless fronthaul systems. Utilizing
these two new products, Oclaro customers will have the flexibility
to choose either a 10G TSFP+ I-temp that can fit a WDM fronthaul
system into a next generation 5G wireless network, or a 25G SFP28
LR I-temp that significantly increases data capacity and offers
industry-leading low power consumption.
"The 5G market is being fueled by the steady increase in data
traffic and our goal is to provide our customers with flexible
solutions that can get them to market quickly and within their cost
requirements," said Yves LeMaitre,
President of Oclaro's Optical Connectivity Business Unit. "Our new
10G TSFP+I-temp is ideal for cost-sensitive customers who want to
save on fiber and installation fees, while the SFP28 LR I-temp
enables carriers to significantly increase bandwidth."
About the 10G TSFP+ I-temp
The TSFP+ is Oclaro's
latest product offering to include I-temp and follows the company's
10G TSFP+ C-temp and E-temp, which are both shipping today. The
TSFP+ is vertically integrated through the use of Oclaro's in-house
ILMZ chip and its custom-designed TOSA and TSFP+ technology. Oclaro
achieved 85C operation by optimizing the operation temperature of
the ILMZ chip and it achieved -40C operation by developing TEC to
lower power consumption. Oclaro also improved the power dissipation
of key components and driving conditions of the TSFP+ I-temp to
enable wide temperature operation between -40 to 85C.
Oclaro expects to begin sampling the 10G TSFP+ I-temp
in April 2017 with volume production anticipated in calendar
Q3 2017.
About the SFP28 LR I-temp
In volume production today,
the Oclaro SFP28 LR I-temp transceiver is designed for enterprise
switches, next generation 5G mobile fronthaul networks, data center
switches and access applications where data rates are increasing
from 10Gbit/s to 25Gbit/s and 40Gbit/s to 100Gbit/s.
The SFP28 LR I-temp leverages Oclaro's world-class 1310nm 28
Gbit/s DML laser chip. Oclaro also developed a 28Gbit/s TO-CAN TOSA
for this product using its existing and proven 10G TOSA packaging
technology. The SFP28 LR I-temp leverages Oclaro's in-house 25G DML
laser chip operating up to 120C to eliminate the need for a TEC and
provides low power consumption of 1.0W max based on excellent slop
efficiency, which is critical for wireless systems.
