DWDM transceivers

Finisar has launched its dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.

These enable system vendors to simultaneously accelerate time-to-market and provide an easy-to-use DWDM interface by offering a pluggable alternative to traditional discrete solutions.

The transceivers are compatible with the latest DWDM SFP multi-source agreement, of which Finisar is a founding member. Offering low power consumption with a maximum specification of 1 W total power, the transceivers enable backwards compatibility in legacy systems previously designed for standard SFP transceivers.

The DWDM SFPs are also fully RoHS-compliant.The FWLF-1631 is compliant with SONET/SDH specifications from OC-3/STM-1 to OC-48/STM-16, 1/2 Gbps, fibre channel and gigabit ethernet. The transceiver can be deployed in data links with spans of up to 120 km.
