Telecoms ♦ news digest Finisar to exhibit its
Quadwire FDR active optical cables
The firm will showcase its latest technologies, many of which incorporate III-V europ, at the Supercomputing 2011 conference this week in Seattle.
Finisar Corporation, a provider of active cables that accelerate storage, networking, and high- performance computing connectivity, has announced the commercial availability of its Quadwire FDR active optical cable.
The Quadwire FDR cable provides high-bandwidth performance with 4 lanes at 14 Gb/s per lane in a standard QSFP+ form factor and is ideally suited for InfiniBand 4xFDR and 4x16x Fibre Channel applications. Finisar will provide a live Quadwire FDR cable demonstration and display its complete portfolio of active cable products at booth #2634 at the 24th annual SC Conference 2011 this week in Seattle, Washington.
As the speed of supercomputing clusters continues to accelerate, the High Performance Computing (HPC) and Datacentre markets demand higher speed VCSEL technology to provide this next level of data throughput. The FDR active optical cables are compact, lightweight and flexible to support very high-density deployments.
“The commercial availability of our Quadwire FDR cable illustrates our strong commitment to providing leading InfiniBand cable technology in the growing HPC and Datacentre markets,” said Steffen Koehler, Product Line Manager at Finisar. “Leveraging our unmatched expertise and vertical integration in optics technology we provide active optical cable solutions that address bandwidth and link-distance challenges that cannot be supported by existing copper cables.”
At SC’11, Finisar will also display its complete family of active cables including Laserwire for 10GbE, Quadwire for 40GbE and InfiniBand QDR, and C.wire for 100GbE and InfiniBand QDR. Finisar will be at booth #2634 and will exhibit how it exploits fibre optic technology to decrease weight and power consumption while improving the density and reach
of data transmission relative to traditional copper solutions.
