Optimized, Certified Optical Transceivers for Extending
Service Provider Networks
Today’s service provider networking environments and enterprise data
centers are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher
speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance and reliability
to better meet the demands of business. As speed and performance needs
increase, optical transceivers have become an integral part of overall
system design. However, optical transceiver design margins and parameters
vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable
fabric and incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.
The Extreme 100 Gbps ER4 (40 km) Ethernet optical transceiver, part of
the Extreme Networks family of optical transceivers, is optimized to fully
leverage the Extreme Networks VDX and MLXe switches and routers.
Together, these optical transceivers provide state-of-the-art performance,
helping IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation
while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.
