| Intel introduced a 10 Gbps telecommunications-grade optical transceiver capable of being tuned across the entire C band. The new 10-Gbps Intel TXN13600 Tunable Optical Transceiver uses thermal tuning and wavelength-locking technology. Intel said the unique design of its transceiver results in low power dissipation of 8 Watts typical. It also integrates a variety of advanced features, such as dynamic control of the receiver decision threshold and unique SBS suppression that enables optimization of link performance without affecting other transmitter characteristics. The transceiver will be available in production quantities in the second half of 2004 and is priced at $7,000. http://www.intel.com 24-Feb-04 |  |
