Oplink Communications (OPLK)

FREMONT, Calif., March 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (OMS) for optical networking components, modules and subsystems, today announced the availability of a full suite of SFP+ transceiver products, including low power 80km reach, CWDM, and DWDM versions.

These products have been designed for lower power consumption and wider operational temperature ranges to enable 10Gbps deployment in high-density systems and the challenging environmental operations in data centers, access aggregation, and mobile back haul applications.

The main features of Oplink's newly released portfolio of SFP+ transceivers include:

• Maximum of 1.5 Watts of power consumption supporting 10Gbps applications reaching up to 80km
• DWDM with 46 wavelength channels supporting up to 80km uncompensated links, or longer distances assisted with dispersion compensation and optical amplification
• Operational temperature range of -40 to 85°C for all SFP+ products in portfolio

"The release of our suite of SFP+ transceivers dovetails with the optical networking trend of deploying higher bandwidth closer to end users, where high-density solutions and operations with greater temperature ranges are required," said Dr. Rang-Chen Yu, Vice President of Business Development at Oplink. "Our rugged and power-saving SFP+ products have been well-received by our customers and deployed in a wide range of applications, such as data center switch connectivity, service router WAN interface, access aggregation, and wireless back haul networks. With today's announcement, we are pleased to now offer customers with our next-generation, rugged SFP+ transceiver designs and look forward to continuing our support to customers with the best product solutions and services," continued Dr. Yu.

The SFP+ transceiver products announced today are all available for customer orders. The C-temperature (-5 to 70°C) versions of these products are currently in full production, and all of the industrial-temp (-40 to 85°C) versions are expected to complete full qualification and begin production shipment by April.

Oplink will showcase its full line of SFP+ transceiver products alongside other active and passive optical networking solutions at the OFC/NFOEC show on March 6-8, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA, booth #1717.
