Avanex Corporation, a pioneering provider of intelligent photonic solutions that enable next-generation optical networks, today announced at OFC/NFOEC 2008 Expo the release of new 10G XFP transceivers suitable for 40km and 80km transmission applications in access and metropolitan networks. The new PowerPort™ 2080, for TDM applications, and the PowerPort 2180 for DWDM applications, are 10 Gb/s EML-based transceivers that combine leading-edge optics and RF electronics to create a high performance and lower power-dissipation reach capability up to 80km.
The dramatically improved thermal performance of the PowerPort XFP products enables customers to achieve extended reach in any standard XFP enclosure. This key benefit enables higher port density on the system board, reducing overall cost to the system provider and providing excellent opportunities for system expansion. The PowerPort XFP platforms support multiple rates up to 11.3 Gb/s, and are fully compliant with all ITU-T and XFP MSA standards.
Both PowerPort versions are in production and available for sampling. The PowerPort 2080 and 2180 XFP transceivers will be on display at OFC Expo from February 25th - 28th, 2008, Hall C, booth 1734.
