EMCORE, Mysticom Extend VSR 10GbE
To 500m On Multimode Fiber
Mysticom, an innovative supplier of high-speed communication ICs, announced
superior performance and extended data transmission distances during
interoperability testing with EMCORE's SmartLink QTR3400 10G Media Converter.
The tests confirmed that Mysticom's MY3124, a XAUI-to-XAUI Retiming
Transceiver, and EMCORE's SmartLink together provide a cost-effective 10
Gigabit Ethernet solution for wiring closet applications and connections
within Central Office and data center type environments.
In the interoperability test utilizing standard 50/125 micron multimode
fiber,
the link was operated at a distance of 500 meters with the Enhanced Mode
enabled on the MY3124 and at 400 meters in standard 8b/10b mode. A variety of
data patterns were transmitted, including the stressful IEEE Draft
P802.3ae/D4.1 Continuous Random Pattern. All results were achieved with better
than 10-15 Bit Error Rate.
"We are very pleased with the results of the interoperability testing that
has
been conducted with Mysticom," said Al Yuen, vice president of sales and
marketing for EMCORE's Fiber Optics Division. "EMCORE continues to develop
high performance, low-cost optical modules and components for the very short
reach market. We are committed to providing cost effective product solutions
for the data center and central office interconnect market by leveraging our
internally produced 850nm VCSELs and 1310nm DFB lasers."
"Mysticom is committed to bringing new capabilities and performance levels
to
accelerate the deployment of 10 Gigabit Ethernet," said Wiren Perera,
Mysticom's vice president of marketing. "Our partnership with EMCORE has
allowed us to deliver a high-performance, cost effective solution with
extended reach for 10Gbps VSR optical interconnections utilizing multimode
fiber."
