Neophotonics unveils pluggable OLT transceivers

Pluggable transceivers give systems designers flexibility in configuring platforms for different network applications and allow higher port densities as they physically separate the optical interface from the rest of the system hardware.

These pluggable OLT transceivers enhance Neophotonics existing line of GPON modules for optical line terminals (OLT) and optical networking units (ONU), which are deployed in central offices (CO) and at customer premises (CPE), respectively.

Together, these OLT and ONU devices form a portfolio of advanced small form factor transceivers for GPON systems manufacturers.

The transceivers cover both Class B+ and C+ link budgets, feature receive signal strength indicators (RSSI) and advanced monitoring capabilities and meet commercial (C-Temp) and industrial temperature (I-Temp) grade specifications.

Advanced monitoring features allow early fault location and reduce downtime in system operation.

'Our GPON transceiver line meets the stringent performance and reliability requirements for triple-play access networks,' said Tim Jenks, chairman and chief executive of Neophotonics.

Neophotonics will showcase its line of GPON transceiver modules alongside several other products at the OFC/NFOEC 2009 Conference and Exhibition, in booth 1126 of the San Diego Convention Center, from 24-26 March.
