SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - November 16, 2010) - Finisar Corporation (
As the performance speed of supercomputing clusters continues to accelerate, the High Performance Computing (HPC) and Datacenter markets demand higher speed interconnections to support the increasing bandwidth needs. These FDR active optical cables use 14 Gb/s VCSEL technology to provide the next level of data throughput in the form of a compact, lightweight and flexible optical cable suitable to support those very high density deployments.
"We are extremely proud to be leading the way in active optical cable technology by demonstrating the industry's first InfiniBand FDR active optical cable," said Christian Urricariet, director of marketing for high-speed optics at Finisar. "This product leverages our expertise in optics technology to provide a timely solution to the bandwidth and link distance requirements which cannot be supported by copper cables."
Finisar will also have on display at SC10 its complete family of active cables including Laserwire™ for 10GbE, Quadwire™ for 40GbE and InfiniBand QDR, and C.wire™ for 100GbE and InfiniBand QDR. Visit Finisar's booth #4738 to find out how it leverages fiber optic technology for the transmission of data while reducing the latency, weight, density, and power consumption of traditional copper solutions.
