MICROSENS introduces 8G Fibre Channel Module

The 8G Fibre Channel provides performant storage solutions related to data center administration, and it is also verified for use with Brocade Equipment. MICROSENS, a German manufacturer of optical transmission systems, has just released a transponder card for 8G Fibre Channel transmission. The active 8G Fibre Channel Module uses optical wavelength multiplexing (WDM) to facilitate optical storage network (SAN) interconnectivity and high-performance integration of backup data centers. However, it can also be used to extend the range of existing connections.

The card is equipped with a fixed fiber optic port with LC connection on the line side. Depending on the user's needs, this port can support either DWDM or single mode signals and is available in ranges of either 40, 60, or 80 km. Connecting clients on the access side is done using standard XFP plugins for multimode or single mode fiber.


Comprehensive management functions

The module can be managed via SNMP and is designed to connect to the central MICROSENS Network Management Platform (NMP). An additional DDM (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring) function serves as a status monitor communicating information on transceiver temperature and usage rate. To supplement this, the expansion card supports diagnostic loopback testing of individual fiber optic connections. Effective immediately, the expansion card is available under reference number MS430555M.
