Enablence to showcase its PLC based optical products at the ECOC conference

Enablence will unveil two new component products at the 36th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) to be held from Sept. 19-23 in Turin, Italy. Enablence will be exhibiting and showcasing at ECOC the latest additions to its portfolio of innovative PLC-based optical components at Booth #242. These include:

The APD32T-XS

The APD32T-XS is a Topside Illuminated Avalanche Photodiode (APD). This APD is optimized for single-mode 10 Gb/s SONET/SDH as well as 10G PON applications. It features a dual pad layout and an optical aperture of 32 um and a small footprint that saves valuable space in small packages such as TO-46.

This APD enables receiver sensitivities of -27 dBm for 10 Gb/s Non Return Zero signals when used with an appropriate TIA. The key feaures of the APD32T-XS so stand apart due to:
--Its availability as bare die
--High temperature stability - temperature control is not mandatory
--Relatively low operating bias - only 25 V vs. 40 V or higher for other APDs

The iMS 0808 Multicast Switch:

The 8x8 iMS 0808 model for its multicast switch family compliments the current 4x8 model. The 0808 model offers a solution to make ROADM nodes with directionless, colorless, and contentionless features.

The 0808 features eight input and eight output ports and is suggested for use in 40G and 100G networks. The signal to any of the input ports can be directed to any one or any combinations of output ports. The routing of this switch module can be controlled through a standard RS232 or I2C interface. Given the varying requirements this product is only available as a custom product meeting specific customer requirements.

The 0808 is available in single and dual-switch module versions.
