PR Newswire (US)
ANN ARBOR, Mich., and BERLIN, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
High-speed optical components companies, Picometrix, LLC, an
Advanced Photonix company (NYSE Amex: API) and u2t Photonics AG,
have completed the CCRx (Compact Coherent Receiver) multisource
agreement (MSA) which defines an industry standard, cost-effective
form factor for coherent fiber optic receivers for use in both 100G
and 40G DP-QPSK telecommunication systems. The MSA provides the
receiver form factor, pin function definitions, pin locations, and
functionality in a compact optical receiver package designed to
enable rapid product development and ease of component procurement
for optical transponder and line card manufacturers. The MSA is now
open to component manufacturers interested in joining the CCRx MSA.
MSA committee members will be available for scheduled meetings with
interested parties at the upcoming OFC/NFOEC conference in San
Diego, CA at the end of March. Interested parties should contact
the MSA committee through the website http://www.ccrx-msa.org/.
"The release of the CCRx MSA represents a significant milestone to
help assist our customers' rapid development and deployment of
emerging 100 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s line side equipment," said the MSA
Committee. "Our goal is to enable cost-effective, high-performance
components, initially for 100G applications and then subsequently
for 40G coherent applications." Picometrix and u2t are both
contributing members of the 100G Long Distance DWDM Integrated
Photonics working group within the Optical Internetworking Forum
(OIF), a catalyst for fostering industry standards. The MSA is
intended to be compatible with any forthcoming OIF 100G optical
receiver implementation agreement. Both companies will be
exhibiting at OFC/NFOEC, the world's largest optical communications
event, in San Diego, California from March 23-25, 2010. Each
company will have their CCRx MSA products on display, Picometrix in
booth #921 and u2t in booth #1312. About Picometrix, LLC (an API
