JDS Uniphase Launches 2.5 Gbps Transceiver

JDS Uniphase introduced a new 2.5 Gbps, small form factor pluggable (SFP) MSA transceiver designed for 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths and for short, intermediate, and long reach applications. JDS Uniphase said its new CT2 device meets all SONET specifications, including receiver reflectance, and provides automatic extinction ratio control for the entire life of the product. The device has a microprocessor-based design that allows the implementation of all the Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) functions in the MSA. It is "hot-pluggable" both optically and electrically. http://www.jdsu.com
