Fujitsu Microelectronics America and Fujitsu Components America to Introduce Industry's First 10Gbps Ethernet Products at Annual Networld+Interop

Eudyna, the Fujitsu-Sumitomo joint venture, to release new products in U.S.

Las Vegas, NV, May 10, 2004 — Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA), Fujitsu Components America, Inc. (FCAI) and Eudyna Devices USA Inc. (EUDU), the new Fujitsu-Sumitomo joint venture (formerly Fujitsu Compound Semiconductor, Inc.) will bring the latest 10Gbps networking products and technology to Networld+Interop in Las Vegas May 11-13.

Fujitsu Microelectronics and Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc. (FLA) will feature the industry's first single-chip 10Gbps Ethernet switch, integrated with on-chip 10GBASE-CX4 (IEEE 802.3ak) transceivers capable of driving over 25-meter copper cable.

FLA will also exhibit leading-edge 10Gbps Ethernet systems and solutions, including a live demonstration of Fujitsu's 10Gbps Ethernet switch system built using the company's 10Gbps Ethernet switch chip (the MB87Q3070), XENPAK transceiver, and fiber cable running with an IXIA tester.

FCAI Introduces New Transceiver Modules
Fujitsu Components of America, the inventor of the CX4 copper I/O connector technology for 10Gbps Ethernet, is releasing a 4-channel optical transceiver module that uses an internal media converter to extend the signal transmission reach of a copper interface up to 300 meters at 2.5Gbps or 100 meters at 3.125Gbps over multimode fiber (MMF) ribbon cable. Using the Fujitsu optical module, IT managers have the flexibility to implement either a copper or an optical solution using one low-cost copper I/O interface. Applications include connections between systems in telecomm central offices and data centers as well as in-system interconnects in routers, switches and transmission equipment.

FCAI will also release a copper CX4 electrical module compliant with the X2 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specification Rev. 1.0b. The X2 x-mGC module transmits 10Gbps Ethernet over 20 meter of standard InfiniBand copper cable (AWG24) or VSR parallel optics (combined with the use of Fujitsu's 4 lane optical transceiver module) through a single port, offering a cost-effective, standards-compliant product targeted for multiple applications in 10Gbps enterprise, storage and telecom markets.

Eudyna's 10Gbps Small Form Factor Transceivers, DWDM 2.5G Transceivers

Eudyna Devices USA, a leading supplier of optical components, and Fujitsu Limited, a leading provider of customer-focused IT and communications solutions for the global

marketplace, have started sampling 40km, 1550nm, 10Gbps small-form-factor pluggable transceivers (XFP) to 10Gbps SONET and Ethernet network equipment manufacturers.

Eudyna Devices and Fujitsu jointly developed the transceivers using Fujitsu's high-level module development technology, Eudyna's high-performance Modulator Integrated Laser in a small TOSA package enabling transmission rates over 40km, and Eudyna's high-performance PIN receiver in a compact ROSA package

Eudyna Devices also has started sampling its DWDM 2.5Gigabit small-form-factor pluggable transceivers (SFP) to optical network equipment manufacturers. Eudyna Devices and Fujitsu jointly developed the transceivers. They utilize Fujitsu's high-level module development technology, Eudyna's high-performance, low-power, cooled laser in a small TOSA package enabling SFP modules to support DWDM functions, and Eudyna's high-performance Avalanche Photodiode receiver in a compact ROSA package.

The DWDM SFP transceiver is capable of more than 200km transmission that covers the full C-band ITU-T grid at 100GHz spacing, operating between 0°C and 70°C with typical 1W power consumption. The transceiver incorporates diagnostic monitoring functions defined by the SFF-8472 standard.
