Finisar’s pluggable, tunable DWDM optical transceivers enabled with Flextune™ are a great way to lower your network infrastructure CapEx by transmitting multiple data streams on a single fiber optics link.
The data centre has created demand for an infrastructure that provides greater bandwidth and higher data rates, but how has this impacted the market for optical components?
Finisar introduced a number of new products at ECOC in Rome, including 200G and 400G transceivers such as the 400G QSFP-DD DR4, 400G QSFP-DD eLR8 (extended-reach), 200G QSFP56 FR4 and 200G QSFP56 eFR4. The company also demonstrated its first 64GBd Integrated Tunable Transmitter and Receiver Assembly (ITTRA) and a self-tuning feature for tunable DWDM modules.
Having demonstrated a 40G version back at OFC in March, Finisar used ECOC 2015 to show off the world’s first 100G QSFP28 SWDM4 module operating over multimode fibre.
The plans for an economic recovery will undoubtedly need vast levels of public and private investment.
