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."
