Stratos Lightwave Announces 40 and 80km GBICs For Long-Haul
Communication Using Gigabit Ethernet CHICAGO, June 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stratos Lightwave LLC is announcing its
new Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) for long-haul
communication over single-mode optical fiber. These GBICs provide
bi-directional data communication using Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre
Channel across distances of 40 or 80km (25 or 50 miles). Operating
at 1.25/1.0625 Gbps, these new Stratos GBICs provide a low-cost
solution for creating long-haul, high-speed connections. They are
ideal for enterprise-wide and metro area networks where the
price/performance profile of SONET is not an optimal fit. These
hot-pluggable devices are compliant with all applicable industry
standards and include Serial ID functionality. The 40km module
operates at 1310nm using 9-micron single mode optical fiber. The
80km device operates at 1550nm using single mode fiber. Both types
utilize device inputs/outputs that are PECL-compatible and are
internally AC coupled (150 ohms). The AC coupled I/Os allow close
positioning of SERDES with respect to the GBIC, shorter line
lengths and reduced EMI at Gigabit speeds. Both are dual voltage
compatible, capable of operating at either +3.3V or +5V. Operating
temperature range is from 0 degrees to +70 degrees C for either
version. Stratos' long-range GBICs are currently available in
volume. Pricing is dependent on model ordered, quantity and options
specified. For additional information contact Steve Tebo at Stratos
