SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of
optical communications solutions, today announced it has begun
volume production of cost-effective 100G 40 km pluggable solutions
in compact QSFP28 transceivers that support the new ER4-Lite
specification. With their ability to reach 40 km while maintaining
low power and high-faceplate density, the new Oclaro ER4-Lite
QSFP28 transceivers enable customers in the metro edge and access
networks to deploy high-speed 100G networks without the use of
optical amplifiers.
"Achieving volume production of these critical 100G transceivers
is an important milestone for our layer 2 switch, core router and
optical transport system equipment manufacturers transitioning from
10G to 100G solutions," said Yves
LeMaitre, President, Optical Connectivity Business at
Oclaro. "With the addition of an ER4-Lite solution to our growing
100G portfolio, Oclaro now has product offerings ranging from 2 km
and 10 km up to 40 km. This allows tremendous flexibility for
distributed data centers and metro optical network
installations.
About the QSFP28 ER4-Lite Solution
The QSFP28 ER4-Lite
complements the Oclaro ER4-Lite CFP2, which has been shipping in
volume since 2015. To develop this transceiver, Oclaro leveraged
its proven 28G electro-absorption modulated laser (EML) that has
demonstrated superior quality and high performance in the Oclaro
CFPx and QSFP28 LR4 product families. The Oclaro ER4-Lite QSFP28
supports both 100GbE and OTU4 applications and supports up to 40 km
with forward error correction (FEC), up to 25 km without FEC, and
will interoperate with existing ER4 solutions in the field up to 25
km. The new ER4-Lite QSFP28 is compliant to the newly introduced
ITU-T standard called G.959.1 4L1-9D1F and a new 4WDM-40
specification just released in July
2017 by the 4WDM MSA Group for 100GbE applications.
