TE Connectivity will be exhibiting the following at ECOC 2014: 100G, 300G and 400G active fibre optic products featuring 25G Coolbit optical
engines - Coolbit optical engines convert data from electrical signals to optical signals and will add to TE’s extensive fibre connectivity for central office, data centre, enterprise and undersea applications and allow the company to offer stronger solutions for the core network. As data centre energy consumption concerns rise, along with the need for more data, cooling at the component level will continue to increase in importance. Boasting extremely low power consumption, with QSFP28 modules performing at less than 1.5 Watts per transceiver, this new line of active optics is poised to help communication systems achieve up to 60 per cent more power savings than existing solutions.

Service providers will save time and money withUTEL’s new PTO 4 customer termination unit, which will be unveiled at
ECOC for the first time. Te pre-connected unit will enable easier installations of quality fibre-to- the-home (FTTH) fittings for customer outlets. Once installed, the unit can serve between one and four outlets and is factory terminated with cables up to the length of 60 metres. Tis minimises time spent in customer premises and removes the requirement for special tools, such as splicers. With UTEL’s PTO 4, the installation process is stress free. All that it requires is to simply fix the unit to the selected point and then take the reverse wound cable to the appropriate splicing point. UTEL will also be available at ECOC to discuss the development of its fast light technology.

ECOC MARKET FOCUS TO ADDRESS KEY OPTICAL CHALLENGES
Mass market broadband, photonics integration, data centre networks, packet- optical, optical network agility and service providers are the key topics for this year’s Market Focus sessions. The sessions sponsored
by Inphi are a key part of the ECOC exhibition, with over 27 sessions confirmed from some of the industry’s global leaders the sessions will address some of the key issues facing currently facing the optical industry. The Market Focus sessions will be held from 22 to 24 September. ‘This year we wanted the
Market Focus to be bigger and better by attracting a variety of global speakers to
reflect the growing spectrum of the optical communications industry,’ said Beverley Lucas, group event manager for Nexus Business Media, organisers of the ECOC exhibition. ‘We are thrilled to welcome back the return of a whole host of world-class industry speakers and are excited to show our visitors a quality line up of presentations.’ Day one of the 2014
Market Focus will begin with sessions on the first topic of data centres and will kick off on Monday 22 September at 10.25am. The session will include presentations from Ovum, Skorpios, Kaiam Corp, ProLabs and Mellanox and Acacia Communication Photonics. One of the Market
Focus highlights will be a panel session lead by Chris Cole from Finisar: ‘Are Silicon Photonics and DSP approaches to Optics delivering on their promise of nearly free cost?’ The panel is set to discuss why and when silicon is free compared to the optics market. Day two will host the mass
market session starting at 10.20am with a kick-off presentation from Hartwig Tauber of the FTTH Council as well as presentations throughout the morning from industry leaders such as Orange Labs, Transmode and RVA. The afternoon will see some of the biggest names in the optical community sharing their
insights into the industry with thought provoking presentations from fujitsu on the metro network evolution: from 100G to NG ROADM and Oclaro on 100G for metro. Companies such as Xtera Communication and Optical Infonetics Research will also be taking centre stage on Tuesday afternoon, with a final presentation on optical amplification and the directions in amplification technologies from JDSU’s Brandon Collings to conclude the second day. The Market Focus finale
on Wednesday will address optical network agility, beginning at 10.20am with presentations from OIF, Alcatel Lucent, II-VI Photonics, JDSU and Inphi.
The final session of the morning will be wrapped up with a presentation from Winston Way of Neophotonics about ‘CDC ROADMs: exploring modular and expandable approaches’. His presentation will explore a new modular approach to next-generation ROADM design as well as the challenges that designers of CDC ROADMs face with managing the up-front initial installation costs to support the large number of degrees or directions which may eventually be required in dense mesh networks. ‘With a series of exciting
topics, Cannes is set to host a variety of groundbreaking discussions’ added Lucas.
