Agere Systems announces line of small-form-factor transceivers for SONET/SDH optical networking systems - New Products

Agere Systems announced the industry's most complete line of small-form-factor (SFF) transceivers for developers of SONET/SDH-based optical networking systems. Part of Agere's NetLight transceiver portfolio, this new family of high-speed pin-through-hole transceivers offers systems designers a single source for cost-effective, high-performance devices.

Announced here at the Networld+Interop (N+I) Conference, Agere's NetLight NLT series covers transmission speeds from OC-3 (155 Mbps) to OC-48 (2.5 Gbps) at distances from two to 80 kilometers. These transceivers are optimized for high-density, high-speed data transport in metropolitan and access networks.

Agere's new NetLight NLT family includes high-performance transceivers, called NLT HP, which use Agere-developed laser and receiver sub-assemblies and are designed specifically for long-reach and extended-long-reach applications from OC-3 to OC-48., Optical transceivers designed for shorter-range access applications are also available using standard laser and detector optical sub-assemblies. These devices provide cost-effective solutions for use inside a building, central office, or campus. Future designs will incorporate Agere's laser chips in these sub-assemblies.
