Transceiver offers 120km reach with 10Gbps data rates over single-mode fibre

Integra Optics has announced the launch of its 10G SFP+ transceiver, which has a reach of 120km. It was developed to provide outstanding performance and reliability for Metro Ethernet transport and access networks without the need for amplification.

The new transceiver is engineered to supply seamless connectivity over long distances, supporting data rates of 10Gbps over single-mode fibre (SMF). Its advanced design and robust features enable it to revolutionise long-distance network communication.

The transceiver supports up to 120km (74 miles) reach over single-mode fibre at 10Gbps data rates, eradicating the necessity for costly and complex amplification. It complies with the industry-standard SFP+ multi-source agreement (MSA), providing wide compatibility with existing network equipment.

It is also designed to operate efficiently within a commercial temperature range of 0C to 70C (32F to 158F), making it ideal for various environments. Offered with coding for compatibility with several platforms, this transceiver ensures seamless integration into existing networks, improving flexibility and ease of deployment.

“By eliminating the need for amplification, we can offer a more cost-effective and simplified solution for long-distance network connections without compromising on performance or reliability,” said senior engineering manager Diana Nottingham. “This product demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative and practical solutions that meet the demands of modern telecommunications.”
