Agilent Begins Shipping First Hot-Pluggable DWDM Transceivers

Agilent Technologies began commercial shipments of the industry's first hot-pluggable DWDM transceivers, enabling network service providers to plug in a DWDM transceiver exactly when and where it's needed, and at any wavelength, thereby reducing inventory costs. Agilent is offering two such hot-pluggable transceivers to provide transmit and receive interfaces for DWDM switch and router equipment, multi-service provisioning, and optical transmission platforms. Agilent's hot-pluggable DWDM transceivers provide SONET/SDH-compliant links at 2.488 Gbps and are compatible with other standard data rates such as Gigabit Ethernet. The transceivers are mountable either through the front panel or directly on the host line card.
