Lumentum showcases tunable transceivers for network edge

At OFC23, Lumentum is demonstrating its line-up of tunable transceivers for edge and access applications:

  • 25G T-SFP28: A unique industrial (-40 to +85 C) temperature-capable 25G T-SFP28 DWDM transceiver that adopts  MSA-compliant SmartTunable technology to simplify field deployment tasks by adopting self-tuning algorithms. It leverages the company's substantial installed base of manufacturing capacity to meet the rapid growth anticipated from 5G applications. Lumentum's 25G TSFP28 is expected to be in production and available to customers by the end of March 2023.

  • 10G OTN SFP+: An OTN SFP+ transceiver with an integrated forward error correction (FEC) engine that supports extended-reach applications without an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The transceiver can interoperate with any open DWDM line system and transparently carry a native 10G LAN PHY payload with a carrier-grade DWDM OTN interface. Lumentum is also introducing the industry's first 100G CFP2-DCO BiDi 

  • 100G Coherent CFP2-DCO BiDi: A reflection-tolerant coherent optical transceiver for bi-directional DWDM transmission over a single fiber, addressing the challenges of link capacity, simplification, and cost.

"We are excited to introduce and demonstrate Lumentum's broad range of tunable transceiver modules at OFC," said Justin Abbott, Lumentum's Director of Product Line Management, Transmission. "With our latest products, we simplify, expand, and deliver cost-effective solutions essential for growth at the network edge, including for telecommunications carriers in the cable MSO and 5G space as they speed up connectivity in their deployments."
