Opnext Demonstrates Interoperable Tunable Laser and DWDM XENPAK

At this week’s ECOC 2004 conference in Stockholm, Opnext is demonstrating the interoperability of its tunable transponder and an advanced XENPAK module for Ethernet over DWDM. Both modules are integral to Opnext’s 10G metro DWDM Ethernet portfolio of products. The tunable transponder is capable of tuning full C-band with wavelength spacing of 50GHz, and supports multiple rates from 9.95 Gbps to 11.1 Gbps. The XENPAK module can transmit data beyond 80km over the standard single- mode fiber, utilizing a cooled integrated laser modulator (ILM) transmitter and avalanche photodiode (APD) receiver. http://www.opnext.com
