Two New Pluggable Modules Offer Industry's Smallest Form Factor for 8-Gbps and 10-Gbps; To be Demonstrated along with Market-Leading Embedded Parallel Optics Portfolio at OFCSAN JOSE, Calif., and SINGAPORE.
CWDM Fiber Optical Transceiver
May 15, 2011CWDM is used in Ethernet and point to point connections,and especially suitable for big bandwidth and short distance data transmission such as between buildings, CWDM offer an economic solution compared with expensive DWDM equipment,people also use CWDM with the PON(passive optical network) to offer multi connection.
Fibre Channel is tied to Structured Data
May 8, 2011SNW Spring 2011 provided a glimpse of the future of Storage. Although Fibre Channel has typically dominated the show over the years, Cloud Storage has now become a major topic. Below, we will describe: What is Cloud Storage and why does it matter? On Thursday, April 7, the last day of the show, Facebook announced the Open Compute Project. We will comment on this as well.
Growth in sales of Active Optical Cables
May 8, 2011Growth in sales of Active Optical Cables continues for the InfiniBand HPC application, and it is now spreading to the Ethernet market as applications in the consumer markets stall.EUGENE, Ore. – April 11, 2011 – LightCounting announces its updated market report on Active Optical Cables - 2011: Positioning for the Next Wave of Growth. In 2010, the market reached about $40M in sales and 150,000 units and is headed for just under $100M and 450,000 units by 2015, according to the latest forecast report released by LightCounting. The main market continues to be in High-Performance Computers (HPCs)(‘supercomputers’) with the InfiniBand protocol. However, 2010 saw the beginning of AOC adoption in datacenters using the Ethernet protocol to connect switch layers together and also in telecom applications, interconnecting long-haul DWDM and routers in central offices.
Optical Communication Industry is well positioned
May 8, 2011Optical Communication Industry is well positioned for growth in 2011-2015, despite near term uncertainty in the market.EUGENE, Ore. – March 28, 2011 – Despite near term uncertainty in the market, the optical communications industry is well positioned for growth in 2011-2015, according to the latest forecast report released by LightCounting. Very strong demand for optical components and modules used in datacom and telecom networks is an early indication of the industry-wide recovery. Latest data on Q4 2010 sales reported by several suppliers exceeded our previous estimates. Sales of optical transceivers increased by 35% in 2010, while such a high growth rate is not sustainable, LightCounting forecasts that sales of optical transceivers will increase by 10% in 2011, exceeding $3 billion.
