PALO ALTO, USA: GigOptix Inc., a leading supplier of high performance electronic and electro-optic components that enable next generation 40G and 100G optical networks, announced the adoption of the GX6155 modulator driver by CIVCOM, a leading manufacturer of opto-electronic components, modules and subsystems, in their Small Form Factor (SFF) 10G 300PIN Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) transponders.
The GX6155 is a high-performance 12.5G Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) driver for metro and long-haul LiNbO3 optical transmitters. The GX6155 includes essential features such as MSA compatible supply voltages, low power dissipation, high input sensitivity, low jitter degradation, and the ability to precisely set the output amplitude and eye crossing point. The GX6155 is RoHS-6 compliant and is also backward compatible with non-RoHS soldering.
Gabby Shpirer CEO of CIVCOM stated: “GigOptix’ GX6155 provides the features, performance and value we require to respond to the growing market demand for CIVCOM’s family of 10G SFF 300PIN MSA Free Light DWDM transponders. The GX6155 enables us to deliver high performance, cost competitive, SFF MSA compliant products. Moreover, GigOptix has an extensive component level portfolio that offers us the opportunity to extend cooperation with GigOptix beyond 10G applications into forthcoming 40G and 100G applications.”
The GX6155 is used in CIVCOM’s Free Light Long Reach Tunable SFF 10G 300PIN MSA transponders. The Free Light transponders family is designed for DWDM applications offering equipment manufacturers high performance in a cost-effective SFF device. The SFF transponder uses a widely tunable laser covering the entire C-Band over distances up to 80 kilometers. Availability with Lithium Niobate modulator gives equipment manufacturers the flexibility to choose optimal solutions based on customer needs.
Avi Katz, CEO and chairman of the board of GigOptix, comments: “We are pleased to have been selected by CIVCOM for use in their advanced SFF MSA tunable transponder and to note the strong market traction that CIVCOM is experiencing with their solution.
“We look forward to supporting and contributing to CIVCOM’s success and extending our partnership with them as they aggressively roll out 10G and 40G solutions. In many ways CIVCOM is an ideal partner for GigOptix for technology and product development. Joint activities in this direction are ongoing and we look forward to a more fruitful relationship with CIVCOM.”
