Ignis Optics Signs Volume Order for 10 Gb/S Pluggable Transceivers
March 13, 2003 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
San Jose, Calif. -- Ignis Optics has signed its first high-volume customer order for 10 Gb/s XFP-compatible transceiver modules.
Ignis Optics has already begun shipments to this customer, which has ordered more than 1,000 units.
The XFP is an ultra-small 10Gbps optical transceiver module that was standardized by the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) Group. The XFP module has been replacing bulkier transponder solutions in optical networking equipment because of its lower cost, smaller footprint, lower power dissipation and ease of use by both system designers and end users.
XFP modules from Ignis Optics feature the same high-volume IO-PKG technology that the company applies to its SFP modules for TDM, ATM, IP, storage and video applications. IO-PKG technology significantly lowers module cost by applying techniques originally used to manufacture multimode fiber transceivers to single mode fiber transceivers while maintaining excellent performance characteristics.
Ignis Optics was founded by a team of experienced optical component developers. The firm designs innovative new packaging for fiber-optic transceivers that enables them to offer superior single mode performance while enabling significantly lower system costs.
