Finisar Demonstrates Industry’s First 100G QSFP28 eSWDM Extended Reach and 10G Tunable BiDi Transceivers for Optical Networ...
September 18 2017 - 4:31AM
Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR) today announced several product
demonstrations taking place this week at ECOC, the European
Conference on Optical Communications in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Demonstrations include the industry’s first 100G QSFP28
eSWDM4 transceiver offering the longest reach in the industry for
multimode fiber (MMF), a 10G Tunable BiDi Transceiver for Wireless,
CATV and Enterprise networks, a 100G QSFP28 ER4f transceiver
supporting 40km 4WDM applications, and two new members of the
Optical Instrumentation family. See these market-leading
demonstrations in Finisar’s booth #235 from September 18-20.
100G QSFP28 eSWDM4 Extended Reach
Transceiver Demonstration
Finisar’s 100G QSFP28 eSWDM4 transceiver is a new
member of Finisar’s suite of extended reach QSFP28 form factor
modules. The eSWDM4 transceiver leverages Finisar’s SWDM4
technology and enables 200, 300 and 400 meter links at 100G data
rates over OM3, OM4, and OM5 duplex MMF, respectively. This module
provides the longest fiber reach among duplex MMF solutions in the
industry for 100G QSFP28 Ethernet applications. Duplex MMF is
important because it allows data center operators to upgrade from
10G to 100G without installing additional fiber.
During the show, Finisar will demonstrate a QSFP28 eSWDM4 module
transmitting live data over 300 meters of OM4 multimode fiber
connected to a receiving QSFP28 eSWDM4 module. A network tester
will display an error-free link using FEC (Forward Error
Correction). This new transceiver offers the most
cost-effective 100G solution for 300 meter links in the industry.
It interoperates with standard reach 100G QSFP28 SWDM4 modules and
can be used with existing duplex fiber infrastructure deployed for
legacy applications, such as 10G.
10G Tunable BiDi SFP+ Transceiver
Demonstration
Finisar is pleased to introduce the industry’s first tunable
BiDi SFP+ transceiver for wireless and metro-access networks. The
novel dual-band bidirectional DWDM architecture fits one pair of
channels into a 100GHz band. It supports full C-band tunability
with 40 bidirectional point-to-point links on a single fiber,
increasing fiber capacity by a factor of 80 compared to
“grey-optics” traditionally used to serve these network
applications. It can also be used within existing 100GHz DWDM fiber
plants.
This dual-band bidirectional DWDM architecture uses standard
C-band optics and 100GHz Multiplexers and De-multiplexers without
requiring cyclic AWG or L-band tunable lasers needed for
conventional bidirectional DWDM solutions. In addition, it reduces
the number of patch cables by a factor of two, simplifying field
installation costs with fewer connectors. The proposed tunable BiDi
SFP+ transceiver is the most fiber efficient and lowest cost 10G
DWDM solution on the market for end-customers.
The live demonstration will include multiple tunable Bidi SFP+
modules supporting 40 bidirectional point-to-point links on a
single fiber. A self-wavelength tuning feature using Finisar’s
Transceiver to Transceiver Digital Optical Communication (T2DOC™)
channel technology will also be demonstrated.
100G QSFP28 ER4f Transceiver Demonstration
Finisar’s 100G QSFP28 ER4f transceiver is the newest member of
the Finisar suite of extended reach QSFP28 modules. The ER4f
module enables 40 km links at 100G data rates over duplex single
mode fiber (SMF) with FEC on the host, or 30 km links with duplex
SMF without FEC. With an industry-leading power consumption
of less than 4 watts, the QSFP28 ER4f transceiver supports both
Ethernet and OTU networking applications and complies with the 4WDM
MSA.
The booth demonstration will showcase the QSFP28 ER4f module
transmitting live traffic to a receiving QSFP28 ER4f module over 40
km duplex SMF. A bit error rate tester will display an error-free
link post FEC.
Optical Instrumentation Portfolio
Finisar is also demonstrating new members of the WaveShaper® and
WaveAnalyzer™ optical instrumentation portfolio. The WaveAnalyzer
100S Compact Optical Spectrum Analyzer demonstrates high speed
measurements of optical transmission signals with great resolution,
including OSNR measurement and WDM analysis. The WaveShaper
A-Series demonstrates arbitrary filtering of optical signals in
various port configurations including 1x1, 1x19, and 10x10, each
with individual amplitude and phase shapes across the wavelength
range. Both products are available now.
