Gigabit Optics Announces Micro-LX4 at NFOEC 2003; The Only Telcordia Qualified Mux & Demux to Operate at the 10GBASE-LX4, 10-Gbit/s Ethernet Standard.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NFOEC NFOEC National Fiber Optical Engineer Conference NFOEC National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference 2003 Booth #1112 SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003 Gigabit Optics, the leading provider of passive 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. components, announced today the introduction of the world's smallest Telcordia qualified Mux & Demux to operate at the LX4 wavelengths. Gigabit Optics will be displaying its newest product at the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference 2003 (NFOEC) (Booth #1112) in Orlando, Fla. next week. "With the resurgence re·sur·gence n. 1. A continuing after interruption; a renewal. 2. A restoration to use, acceptance, activity, or vigor; a revival. of customer interest in the 10-Gbit/s Ethernet standard 10GBASE-LX4, Gigabit Optics is uniquely poised to meet their demand," said Pat Edsell, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Gigabit Optics. "Our Micro Mux & Demux products represent the only Telcordia qualified products small enough to be integrated into existing standards, including Xenpak and either of its successors: Xpak or X2." To date, Gigabit Optics has introduced three passive product lines: Patch Mux/Demux & OADMs, Macro Mux/Demux & OADMs and Micro Mux/Demux & OADMs. The Patch product line occupies no board space and offers flexible system configurations while enabling service providers to upgrade their existing network systems with minimum cost. The Macro product line features a lower-cost, drop-in replacement solution with competitive and reliable performance for current generation systems. The Micro product line is comprised of the world's smallest CWDM passive components which enable new generation system architecture, improve space management and deliver competitive performance at a lower cost. These optical platforms are based on proprietary designs that can be configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: in a variety of ways to accommodate different laser types, transmission speeds, form factors and connectors. Micro-LX4 Product Overview The essential features that differentiate this product include: -- Size: 6.0x9.1x9.2mm -- Specifically designed to operate at 1275.7, 1300.2, 1324.7 and 1349.2 -- Telcordia Qualified -- Available in Single and Multimode versions About Gigabit Optics Gigabit Optics Corporation, an integrated photonics photonics, the science and technology based on and concerned with the controlled flow of photons, or light particles. It is the optical equivalent of electronics, and the two technologies coexist in such innovations as optoelectronic integrated circuits. company, has developed a micro-optical platform that enables a variety of optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain.
