After a development
period of more than 1 year DieMount presented on July, 17th, 2007
the first novel POF SFP prototypes at the 23. ITG
5.4.1 professional group meeting in Erlangen (
download the presentation).
The pluggable POF SFP transceivers are urgently needed for data network
modules comprising SFP ports that make these network modules flexible
with respect to the used fiber. Many new developed network modules like
data switches, but in future also home gateways, the so called customer
premises equipment (CPE), will be provided with SFP ports. For
POF networks POF SFP transceivers open the option to use network
modules that are primarily designed for glass fiber application. The
existing bottleneck in POF suitable network products is overcome this
way.
The small Wamin switch CS-Fx2 comprises 2 SFP ports suitable for POF
SFP transceivers and 6 electrical ports in addition. He is well suited
for small POF home networks and daisy chain networks via POF as well (
download manual CS-Fx2).
Further applications for POF SFP transceivers are described in the publication "
POF SFP transceivers, the missing link in POF inhouse data networks".
Next to the successful prototype realization DieMount prepares now the
series introduction for the two POF SFP transceiver types
Optospider™ POF SFP 470nm simplex and
Optospider™ POF SFP 650nm simplex. In the end of 2007 first series products will be supplied. Duplex transceiver types are in preparation, too.
