Parallel optical links ease data-centre bottlenecks August 4, 2008 The market for parallel optics is expected to double in the next five years, driven by increased demand for high-speed router interfaces and the burgeoning input/output requirements of data-centre servers and computing clusters. Roy Rubenstein investigates how the optical module makers are responding. XLoom has launched a parallel optics product that isn’t active optical cable. Instead, it developed an optical transceiver module, dubbed AVDAT 4X, which is footprint and pin compatible with the CX4 electrical connector more... |

Ovum RHK claims generation fiber has different outlook than boomers March 2008 The hot topics for OFC/NFOEC reveal a generational shift in how issues are framed, according to Karen Liu, Vice President of Components at Ovum RHK.

Active optical cables emerged suddenly as a product category in mid-2007. At last count, there were six vendors offering products in this area. These were not the result of a co-ordinated multi-source agreement (MSA) development; nor were they all driven by the same large customers. They don't even aim at the same application. While four vendors' products (Zarlink, Intel, Xloom and Tyco) use the CX4 connector for 10GbE and InfiniBand, Finisar's product is serial 10Gbps and Luxtera's uses the QSFP connector for 40Gbps. more... |
