This year’s European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) will see HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG presenting its latest, ultra-compact, extended LAN-WDM optical components, which will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany (Booth 259). 

 

Conforming to IEEE 802.3bs 400GBase-LR8/FR8 proposal and are compatible with CFP8 form factor, the new optical sub-components comprise a compact, directly-reflecting, multiplexing architecture drawn on Cube Optics’ intellectual property and more than 15 years’ engineering expertise.

This well-proven technology has successfully been applied in a majority of 100GBase-LR4/ER4 and 40GBase-LR4/ER4 transceivers, demonstrating its superior, robust and reliable design. 

With its miniature size of only 17.1x12.5x6.5mm, the extended LAN-WDM defines the standard for next-generation, client pluggable transceivers in data centres and access network applications. The extended LAN-WDM components and modules are currently available for customer sampling. Volume production will start at the end of 2016.

John D’Ambrosia, Chairman of Ethernet Alliance said: “The increasing demand for higher bandwidth in metro access networks propels the industry to move toward higher transmission speeds.”

D’Ambrosia added: “Continuing innovation and development of the optical technologies, such as HUBER+SUHNER Cube Optics AG’s extended LAN-WDM, enables the industry to swiftly transition from 100G to the next generation of 400GbE client optics.”

Visitors to ECOC can see HUBER+SUHNER’s technology at Booth 259 in Düsseldorf’s CCD Congress Centre, from 19th-21st September.
