CHATSWORTH, Calif., Nov 16, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Optical Access
Communications, a division of MRV Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRVC)
today announced a complete family of Fiber Channel transceiver modules.
The product line consists of transceiver modules in 1x9, duplex SC, LC
and GBIC configurations.
The 1x9 transceiver module is a standard device capable of Fiber
Channel data rates. Available in either 5V or 3.3V versions, these
singlemode transceivers, operating at 1310nm or 1550nm, are capable of
covering extremely long distances up to 100km.
The LC transceiver module follows the new small-form factor standard
and is supported by IBM, Lucent, Sumitomo and Methode Electronics.
Using the LC transceiver module not only increases port densities by up
to 100 percent in fiber-optic communications systems, but it also
allows network equipment engineers to design circuit boards and panel
cutouts to accommodate copper connectors as well as fiber-optic ports.
The LC connector utilizes an RJ-45 telephone-style housing - a common
design in the telecommunications industry. These modules are available
in 3.3V versions and are capable of covering extended distances of up
to 70km.
The GBIC transceiver module is ideal for long-haul transmission of
Fiber Channel and Gigabit Ethernet data. Optical Access GBIC
transceivers are available for various transmission distances ranging
from 6km to 100km with excellent EMI performance.
Noam Lotan, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are
very excited about the release of these new components. They provide
our customers with the greatest of flexibility in designing the
physical layer interfaces for Fiber Channel and Gigabit Ethernet."
