FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 3011
Mitsubishi Electric to Launch Compact Integrated 100Gbps EML-TOSA
Will support long-haul transmissions and downsizing of 100Gbps communication equipment
TOKYO, March 16, 2016 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will begin shipping a laser diode-transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) capable of supporting 100Gbps optical transmissions on July 1. The new TOSA, which features four electro-absorption modulators with laser diode (EML) integrated with an optical multiplexer, offers one of most compact EML-TOSA solutions available for IEEE 100GBASE-ER4 applications.
The device will be displayed at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition 2016 (OFC) in Anaheim, California from March 20 to 24.
Compact Integrated 100Gbps EML-TOSA (FU-402REA)
In response to the growing need to install communication equipment in increasingly confined spaces, Mitsubishi Electric's new laser-diode TOSA offers 40km transmission capability in one of the industry's smallest footprints, a combination that is expected to help downsize 100Gbps communication facilities and expand high-speed 100Gbps optical transmission networks.
Product Features
- 1)
-
High-performance EML for long-distance transmissions
