FCX Transponder Series and CWDM Multiplexer OSX: arcutronix' Multirate Transponder Family Boosts Fibre Optic Networks to Data Rates From 100Mbps to 10Gbps

HANOVER, Germany, December 3 - arcutronix adds extra flexibility to customer networks: FCX4G and FCX10G
allow any kind of optical data transport with 3R functionality from 100Mbps
to 10Gbps. They cover the whole bunch of services, such as SAN interface
Fibre Channel 1G, 2G, 4G, 10G, 10GFEC as well as Ethernet LAN/WAN from Fast
Ethernet to 10G Ethernet, STM1, STM4, STM16, ATM, OTN, etc.

In combination with expansion card OSX8+1, users may easily realize
flexible CWDM solutions. Applications range from simple point-to-point and
repeater applications to as far as 180Gbps in one 19'' 3U sub-rack thus
increasing solution efficiency to new heights. Based on arcutronix' system
concept, customer networks can easily expand with growing demands. High
initial investments in oversized infrastructures belong to the past now.
Moreover, existing network applications can be easily integrated without
major interruptions and permit monitoring via Management card.

customers sparing them time and unnecessary effort. With our FCX Family and
