Infineon Unveils Industry's Smallest OC-192, 10Gb/s Optical Transponder
Infineon Technologies, a leading supplier of high-speed optical transmission products, today announced the industrys smallest OC-192 transponder for SDH/SONET environments. The new device is a critical link to highly reliable, local and regional data networks that are four times faster than todays standard OC48 solutions.
The V23827-T18-C530 OC192 transponder links high-end routers to metropolitan networks at transmission speeds of 10Gb/s over a distance of up to 10km. Electrical parallel data (data and clock) of 16:1 LVDS (Low Voltage-Differential Signal) is transmitted at a data rate 622Mb/s over 16 channels. The module features low power consumption of only six watts. A directly modulated DFB (Distributed Feed Back) laser does not require internal cooling. Thanks to Infineons uncooled DFB laser, the device measures only 75 mm X 42 mm X 15 mm, making it the smallest 10Gb/s solution currently available.
We are happy to offer OC-192/STM-64 networking capacity directly to emerging carriers and local Internet Service Providers (ISP) networks, said Jens Fiedler, program manager for fiber optics at Infineon. This transponder is key to applying fiber optics solutions that will break down the barriers that slow down the Internet and other data transport. By using our smallest OC-192 solution, system providers can offer a high-port density that will enable terabit data transmission.
The Infineon transponder has a transmission range of 10km and features a low power consumption of only six watts. It converts the 16-bit wide electrical input coming from the Framer chip into a 10Gb/s serial optical data stream. The receiver section converts the serial optical data stream back into the 16 LVDS-compliant channels. The device incorporates high-frequency PLL (Phase Locked Loop) for clock generation and recovery and meets the specification for OC-192 SR data transmission proposed by OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum). The transponder will be available for sampling 3Q00.
