Oclaro Delivers Second Generation Tunable SFP+ ModuleSAN JOSE, Calif., March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of optical communications solutions, today announced the sampling of its second-generation tunable SFP+ module operating at very high temperatures of up to 85 degrees Celsius with very low power consumption. Building on Oclaro's strong history of 10G tunable DWDM products, the new tunable SFP+ module delivers the size and power needed for next generation data center, metro and regional optical networks. It also serves as a building block for emerging new applications such as fiber-to-the-home and 4G/5G LTE wireless fronthaul networks that might require DWDM functionality in the future. Tunable SFP+ modules are important building blocks for next generation network equipment because they can reduce the size and power consumption for 10G connections while supporting the network operators' rapidly increasing bandwidth capacity needs driven by data-intense applications. As an established leader in this market, Oclaro has been shipping its first generation tunable SFP+ module in volume production since the fall of 2014 and is now sampling this second generation module to key customers. The company will be showcasing its complete line of tunable laser products at the upcoming Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC) in the Oclaro booth #2011. "In order to effectively address the bandwidth bottlenecks in the network caused by increased internet and mobile traffic, our customers are under constant pressure to deliver higher-density line cards operating at high temperatures without sacrificing power and performance," said Yves LeMaitre, President of Optical Connectivity Business at Oclaro. "Our tunable SFP+ modules solve these pain poins by leveraging Oclaro's indium phosphide leadership in photonic integration to achieve market leading performance across a wide temperature range, and it also positions us well for future high-volume applications where low cost and operation at high temperatures are of the essence."
