NeoPhotonics Introduces Transceiver for 4Gb/s Storage Area and Data Networks; 4G SFP Transceiver Provides Superior Support for Multimode Giga-Ethernet and Fiber Channel Services.GLASGOW, Scotland -- NeoPhotonics today introduced their new 4G Multimode SFP transceiver (PST PST Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, see there 120-71W(-L)) here at the European Conference on Optical Communications. NeoPhotonics is exhibiting this new product and others at stand 225 in the Scottish Exhibition Conference Centre (SECC) through September 28th. "This product extends our line of SFP transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications," said Zhangyong Huang, President of NeoPhotonics China. "In addition to our 1 and 2 Gb/s multimode transceivers for Fiber Channel and Ethernet applications, we also have a complete line of single mode SFP and XFP transceivers for longer reach applications. All of these transceivers are built on a foundation of extensive experience in design and manufacturing." "This single SFP transceiver that can be used at 1, 2 or 4 Gb/s offers great flexibility and efficiency to Fiber Channel customers," said Tim Jenks, 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 NeoPhotonics. "With the accelerating demand for bandwidth in Storage Area Network applications, customers need assurance that the hardware they deploy will not rapidly become overwhelmed by demand. With our new transceiver, customers can be confident that they can scale with data growth." Now available for initial shipments, the multimode transceiver operates at data rates from 1.0625Gb/s to 4.25Gb/s and is Fibre Channel FC-PI FC-PI Fibre Channel-Physical Interface (ANSI) 100-M5-SN-I, 100-M6-SN-I, 200-M5-SN-I, 200-M6-SN-I, 400-M5-SN-I, 400-M6-SN-I compliant. The device meets the SFP and SFF-8472 MSA and is hot pluggable and LC-Duplex fiber connector compatible. The transceiver incorporates an 850nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested ) and is capable of transmission distances over 50/125 micron MMF See multimode fiber. of up to 150 meters at 4.25 Gb/s and 550 meters at 1.0625Gb/s.
