Fujitsu has developed what it claims is the world's first commercial 10Gigabit/sec Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP)-type optical transceiver for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).
The transceiver will make it possible to develop and manufacture smaller, less expensive, high-speed DWDM optical transmission equipment when it becomes available at the end of March this year.
It supports both SONET and similar communications equipment (operating at 9.95 Gbit/sec) and 10 Git/sec Ethernet data communications equipment (operating at 10.3 Gbit/sec).
By incorporating a low-power optical device and an efficient heat dissipating mechanism, Fujitsu says that the new transceiver consumes roughly 40% less power compared to conventional DWDM transceivers (4W or less).
With an optical interface that allows hot-swapping, the new unit is easy to swap with existing XFP transceivers.
Labour pledge to tackle four key barriers in UK energy transition
I'm all for clarity and would welcome anyone who can enlighten me about what Labour's plans are for the size and scale of this Great British Energy....
