HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG presents its latest, ultra-compact, extended LAN-WDM optical components at this year\u2019s European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany (Booth 259). <\/p>\n
The new optical sub-components \u2013 which conform to IEEE 802.3bs 400GBase-LR8\/FR8 proposal and are compatible with CFP8 form factor \u2013 comprise a compact, directly-reflecting, multiplexing architecture drawn on Cube Optics\u2019 intellectual property and more than 15 years\u2019 engineering expertise. This well-proven technology has successfully been applied in a majority of 100GBase-LR4\/ER4 and 40GBase-LR4\/ER4 transceivers, demonstrating its superior, robust and reliable design. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe extended LAN-WDM is an important development for the progress of 400GBase-LR8\/FR8 pluggables and acts as a pre-cursor technology to integrated active-passive sub-components which we already are working on,\u201d said Dr. Thomas Paatzsch, General Manager of HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG.<\/p>\n
With its miniature size of only 17.1 x 12.5 x 6.5 mm, the extended LAN-WDM defines the standard for next-generation, client pluggable transceivers in data centers and access network applications. The extended LAN-WDM components and modules are currently available for customer sampling. Volume production will start at the end of 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe increasing demand for higher bandwidth in metro access networks propels the industry to move toward higher transmission speeds,\u201d said John D\u2019Ambrosia, Chairman of Ethernet Alliance. \u201cContinuing innovation and development of the optical technologies, such as HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG\u2019s extended LAN-WDM, enables the industry to swiftly transition from 100G to the next generation of 400GbE client optics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visitors to ECOC can view HUBER+SUHNER\u2019s latest technology at Booth 259 in D\u00fcsseldorf\u2019s CCD Congress Center, September 19-21. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG presents its latest, ultra-compact, extended LAN-WDM optical components at this year\u2019s European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany (Booth 259). <\/p>\n
