Finisar Demonstrates 120 Gb/s CXP to QSFP Active Breakout Cable at SuperComputing 2009 - Zibb.com

SUNNYVALE, CA and PORTLAND, OR, Nov 17, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --

SuperComputing 2009 -- Finisar (NASDAQ: FNSR), a technology leader in fiber optic solutions for high-speed networks, today announced the first public demonstration of a 120 Gb/s CXP to QSFP active breakout cable at the SuperComputing 2009 (SC09) exhibition. The active optical cable contains a single CXP transceiver at one end and three 40 Gb/s QSFP transceivers at the other end to provide maximum flexibility in high performance computing and network infrastructure environments. The demonstration will be held in Finisar's booth #1812 this week at the Oregon Convention Center.

A significant benefit of this multi-connector cable is that it provides high density switches with connectivity to multiple top-of-rack switches and/or server nodes. Compliant with both CXP and QSFP specifications, this breakout cable provides a hot-pluggable, low power, low-weight, and flexible solution for high port-count network topologies.

In addition, Finisar will demonstrate an active 10 Gb/s Ethernet copper cable, the latest member of the Laserwire(R) cable family targeted at server connectivity applications. The cable is optimized for very short, low cost, intra-rack links. It is designed to comply with the SFF-8461 specification through the use of SFP+ to Laserwire adapters.

During SC09, Finisar will also demonstrate a new QSFP to Laserwire adapter. This device will drive the convergence of multiple connector form factors in data center applications. It will enable system manufacturers to design a single PCB layout for both 10G and 40G solutions.

Also on display will be Finisar's extended family of high-performance active optical cables. The family includes Quadwire(TM), a 40 Gb/s parallel cable for 40GbE and InfiniBand QDR, as well as C.wire(TM), a 150 Gb/s parallel cable for 100GbE and InfiniBand 12xQDR applications.

Finisar and Mellanox Drive Convergence of InfiniBand, 10GbE and FCoE Network Technologies Into Next

SUNNYVALE, CA and PORTLAND, OR, Nov 17, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --

Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a technology leader in fiber optic solutions for high-speed networks and Mellanox (NASDAQ: MLNX) (TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of end-to-end connectivity solutions for data center servers and storage, today announced a joint technology demonstration at SuperComputing 2009. This first public demonstration combines Finisar's 10GbE Laserwire(R) QSFP adapter with Mellanox's ConnectX(R)-2 Virtual Protocol Interconnect(TM) (VPI) Adapter Card delivering multiprotocol options on a single board. The joint demonstration will be held in both Finisar's booth #1812 and Mellanox's booth #1301 this week at the Oregon Convention Center.

Finisar's new QSFP adapter is part of the Laserwire family, the industry's first serial active optical cable designed to accelerate and support 10 Gb/s Ethernet server connectivity. Laserwire utilizes fiber optic technology for the transmission of data, thus reducing the weight, density and power consumption of passive copper cable connections. The Laserwire family includes adapter modules for SFP+ and XFP allowing true plug and play with legacy equipment in today's data center.

Mellanox's ConnectX-2 VPI adapter card provides fabric flexibility with InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity, while expanding the performance potential of applications within data center, high-performance computing, and embedded environments. ConnectX-2 VPI's unified I/O technology provides a one-wire solution for any networking, clustering, storage, and management application with an enhanced quality of service to deliver high application productivity.

Mellanox's ConnectX-2 VPI adapter devices will also drive dual-port LAN-on-Motherboard designs based on the QSFP host connector utilizing lightweight Laserwire cables (via the QSFP adapter) for 10GbE and Quadwire(TM) cables for 40 Gb/s InfiniBand QDR.

"By providing a Finisar QSFP to Laserwire adapter option into Mellanox's ConnectX-2 VPI cards, we are able to jointly deliver a solution important to the evolution of next generation high-speed server interconnects," said Jan Meise, director of strategic marketing at Finisar Corporation. "Providing the largest portfolio of active optical cables with Laserwire, Quadwire and C.wire, Finisar is proud to work with Mellanox on driving towards solutions for next generation low power data centers."

"Mellanox ConnectX-2 VPI adapter cards combine superior interconnect bandwidth and latency performance with I/O infrastructure agility to provide a robust connectivity solution for data centers and high-performance, high-transactional computing environments," said Bill Lee, senior product marketing manager at Mellanox Technologies. "Coupled with Finisar's active optical cable solutions for InfiniBand and Ethernet, ConnectX-2 VPI provides a single adapter solution and enhances the ease of use for converged server interconnects."
