Fiberspace TrueLock External Active Wavelength Locker Nears Telcordia GR-1221 Qualification.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NFOEC NFOEC National Fiber Optical Engineer Conference NFOEC National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference 2002 Booth #1313 DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 2002 Continuing its commitment to developing advanced wavelength stabilization and management solutions, Fiberspace has neared completion of Telcordia's GR-1221 Long Term Reliability for Passive Optical Components Compliance Program with its TrueLock(TM) External Wavelength Locker (EWL EWL Excess Weight Loss EWL Effective Working Length EWL Equivalent Working Length EWL Engineer Work Line EWL Electronic Warfare Laboratory EWL Early Warning Line EWL External Wavelength Locking (Agilent) ), at Garwood Laboratories, Inc., in Pico Rivera, CA. To attain such standing, the product had to pass numerous tests, including long term high and low temperature tests, mechanical shock and vibration, thermal shock, and other rigorous testing in keeping with Telcordia's stringent reliability standards. The TrueLock(TM) EWL, featuring patent-pending, thermally-controlled etalon In optical networking, an etalon is a passive filter that uses a Fabry-Perot cavity. See Fabry-Perot. technology, is expected to complete Telcordia qualification by October 14, 2002. "Fiberspace's TrueLock(TM) External Wavelength Locker has gone through the GR-1221 compliance program up to this point with no issues," states Don Bennett, Director of Telecom Compliance for Garwood Laboratories, Inc. "The 1221 program can be difficult to complete unless the manufacturer keeps that specification in mind when designing the product. Judging by the results of the completed tests to date, it is obvious Fiberspace had accounted for the long term reliability of their TrueLock(TM) External Wavelength Locker." Fiberspace is dedicated to providing high performance, low-cost products for metro and long haul applications requiring very close channel spacing. Network integrators seeking an external locker replacement can easily adopt the TrueLock(TM) EWL as a component for DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing optical transport systems, as it is pin-to-pin compatible and an exact form/fit match with industry-standard alternatives. The TrueLock(TM) EWL is available in 25, 50 and 100 GHz FSR (Free System Resource) In Windows 3.x, the amount of unused memory in various 64K blocks reserved for managing current applications. Every open window takes some space in this area. See Windows memory limitation. (free spectral range) versions. Multi-wavelength capability and superior accuracy lead the list of performance advantages of the product, which is slated for general availability in October 2002. The TrueLock(TM) EWL is one of the products that Fiberspace will feature at the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (NFOEC) 2002 at booth #1313. Fiberspace will demonstrate the EWL's temperature stability over ambient temperature range, proving less than +/- 500 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. deviation from a selected ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations.
