RedClover Introduces Optical Transdaptor Family

RedClover Networks, a start-up based in Sunnyvale, California with a subsidiary in Ottawa, Canada, introduced its "Transdaptor" family of highly integrated and adaptive universal transponders. The product line includes a 10 Gbps universal transponder module that combines the functionality of a standard SFI-4 electrical interface, 10 Gbps optical interface, and ultra-compact embedded adaptive fiber transmission impairment compensation. It also includes a WDM Optical Transdaptor that adds the functionality of a tunable laser for full C-band or L-band operation. Both products are compliant with 300pin MSA standards, and support multiple data rates: 9.95 Gbps (OC-192, 10GE WAN), 10.3125 Gbps (10GE LAN), 10.664 Gbps and 10.709 Gbps for different FEC applications. RedClover has targeted its Transdaptor family of interface products at intelligent optical hardware for access, storage, switching, and transport networks.

Separately, RedClover announced partnerships with Ixia and with Oki Electric Industry Co. focused on 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps optical interface components and subsystems. RedClover also offers an SFI-5 compliant PS40EX 40 Gbps parallel-serial converter (ParSer) module and TR40SL 40/43 Gbps SFI-5 compliant optical transponder. specializes in 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps module, transponder, and adaptive universal transponder sub-systems.
