AMS Technologies announces the availability of 80km OC-192/STM-64 DWDM XFP transceivers from Optical Communication Products Inc. (OCP) to support high-density, long distance metropolitan area networking (MAN) applications.
With the addition of the XFP DWDM into the product portfolio, OCP and AMS Technologies are well positioned to support the growing WDM-based metro market for high-density OC-192 applications.
OCP's "XGL2SBMxx" DWDM product line is compliant with the G.692 ITU-T standard, offering 44 wavelengths on 100GHz C-Band spacing with an optical link budget of 23dB. The DFB lasers used in these XFP transceivers utilise an electro-absorption modulated laser (EML), satisfying the Class I Laser Safety Requirements in accordance with the international IE-60825 standards.
The modules are designed for multi-rate applications, supporting data rates ranging from 9.95Gb/s to 11.09Gb/s. The DDM functionality adheres to the XFP DWDM MSA, enabling the end-user to monitor key areas in the performance of the XFP transceiver: internal temperature, DC supply voltage, transmitter bias current, transmitter output power, receive optical signal level, laser wavelength and TEC current. Integrated DDM functionality also incorporates warnings and alarms to monitor these parameters.
