ADVISORY/Finisar Announces New Transceiver Modules that Dramatically Lower the Cost of Metropolitan Area Networks.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Monday (Sept. 10) NOTE TO EDITORS: Multimedia Assets Available With This Story Include Logos, Photos, Text News Releases --(BUSINESS WIRE) Finisar Corporation (Nasdaq:FNSR), a technology leader in gigabit fiber optic solutions for high-speed data and telecommunication networks, announced today its new line of Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. ) APD APD atrial premature depolarization (see atrial premature complex, under complex ); pamidronate. GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. modules, the FTR-1621-xx and FTR-1619-xx. Using Finisar's advanced APD technology, these transceivers are designed expressly for metropolitan area networks (MANs) requiring high-speed, optical communications Optical communications The transmission of speech, data, video, and other information by means of the visible and the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. at data rates from 125Mbps to 2.7Gbps and link budgets up to 30dB.
