SEPTEMBER 23, 2008 -- Finisar Corp. (search for Finisar), this week introduced its new 52TR Series 40G Transponders for client-side applications. Available in an ultra-compact (4.5- x 3.5- x 0.53-in) 300-pin MSA compliant module, this transponder provides the lowest power dissipation and smallest mechanical footprint in the industry, say company representatives. Finisar will display the new 52TR Series 40G Transponders in booth #379 at ECOC in Brussels, September 22-24, 2008.

According to the company, the 40G transponder is designed to provide a compelling option for carriers continually upgrading switching and routing equipment to meet growing Internet traffic demand. The 52TR Series of 40G Transponders features:
• Support for OC-768, STM-256, G.709 and OTU3 optical networking standards;
• OIF SFI-5 compliant electrical interface;
• Built-In Mux/Demux functionality;
• Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) transmission from 39.8 Gbits/sec up to 44.5 Gbits/sec; and
