Sumitomo Electric Industries Introduces New Optical Transceiver and Products
The SXP3101 series is a part of the XFP transceiver family, which is fully compliant with both the IEEE802.3ae and XFP Multi Source Agreement specifications. The new XFP transceiver features a serial 10Gb/s XFI electrical interface, which eliminates the need for a SerDes inside the module, saving power and space. The new XFP transeiver is thus suitable for higher port density applications in datacom and telecom systems.
The SDX4101 series is a part of the X2 transceiver family, which is fully compliant with both IEEE802.3ae and the X2 Multi Source Agreement specifications. This X2 transceiver features XAUI and MDIO interface for a direct upgrade of the XENPAK transceiver, with a smaller footprint and lower power consumption. Sumitomo Electric also plans to release the SONET/SDH compliant transceivers shortly.
The new transceivers will be demonstrated at Sumitomo Electric's booth (#3404) at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) conference from Mar 23 to 28 in Atlanta, GA.
