Mitsubishi Electric announced that it will begin sample shipment of three 2.5Gbps transceiver modules for optical communication beginning October.
With the dissemination of ADSL, fiber-to-the-home, and other high-speed, high-volume communication services for the home, there has been a rush to expand the communications network in metropolitan areas to keep up with sudden increases in communication traffic.
This has created a demand for a compact optical communication transceiver module capable of stable performance without loss from changes in temperature, Mitsubishi said.
Mitsubishi Electric has been producing the SFP MSA compliant MF-2500FXE/D series 2.5 Gbps transceiver module for optical communication since April.
The three new modules have improved low temperature operating range to -40C-+85C, the widest range in the industry, creating a total lineup of six transceiver modules.
