Cortina Works With Sumitomo

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Cortina Systems, Inc. (Cortina), delivering innovative technologies that link people and networks worldwide, and Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations (SEDU), today announced interoperability between Cortina CS4315 Dual Port and CS4340 Quad Port 10G EDC PHYs, and Sumitomo Electric's 10G ZR and DWDM SFP+ modules. In high density data centers and enterprise networks, 10G SFP+ has become the optical module form factor of choice for 10 Gbps links due to its cost, size and power advantages over other module types. SFP+ ZR and DWDM modules extend these advantages to the metro and telecom markets. System vendors targeting SFP+ ZR and DWDM modules can leverage the proven interoperability between Cortina EDC PHYs and Sumitomo Electric modules to deploy SFP+ based solutions that support SMF link reaches up to 80 km. With a supported data rate of 9.95-11.3 Gbps, these links support multiple protocols including OC-192, SONET, 10GbE, and OTN with FEC. Additionally, SFP+ ZR and DWDM interoperate seamlessly with legacy XFP and X2 modules.
