For the first time, Finisar exhibited at the Cable-Tec Expo held at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center from November 15-17, 2011. The overall attendance increased by 24 percent at the premiere trade show of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE); topping 10,000 attendees. In addition to the strong attendance from the United States, international attendance was up 21 percent from more than 60 countries.
Finisar displayed its latest fiber optic products to Multiple System Operators (MSO) and network equipment providers. A live demonstration was shown of Finisar’s EPON ONU SFP which allows service providers to utilize standard switches, routers and other customer premises equipment (CPE) to connect directly to PON networks. The demonstration showed video being carried over an EPON network with 20km of optical fiber being received into Finisar’s ONU SFP installed in a common Ethernet media convertor. Finisar also showed its GPON version of the ONU SFP.
Attendees were also impressed with Finisar’s wavelength tunable XFP modules that cover the entire C-band wavelength range, leading optical passives for PON networks, and RF-over-Fiber products that natively carry RF signals up to 40 GHz.

Coined as the industry’s engineering show of the year, the 2011 Cable-Tec Expo will be held next week in Atlanta, GA (Nov. 15-17) and is sure to be bustling with activity. Put on by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers, the conference provides access to the latest in cable technology, products, and services with more than 40 technical sessions and exhibitors from more than 50 countries.
Finisar will be located at booth #422, and we welcome you to stop by to hear about our latest developments with EPON, RF-Over-Fiber and Passives products. At the booth, we’ll be demonstrating our EPON stick – Plug and play video transmission over EPON.
See you there!
More than 350 exhibitors from around the world convened in Geneva, Switzerland in September for the annual ECOC tradeshow which gathered more than 5,000 attendees.
Gearing up for ECOC, Finisar introduced several new products including the world’s first 1×20 High Port Count WSS for telecom networks and the WaveShaper 1000S/X and 4000S/X for optical system testing applications. Check back on Lightspeed later this week for a demo video of the new WaveShaper.
Other company highlights at ECOC included live demonstrations of the industry’s first 40 Gb/s Multi-Rate Serial CFP-FR optical module and the 10 Gb/s DWDM 80km SFP+ Optical Transceiver (you can also check back later this week for a video demo of our new SFP+). It was great to see so much activity stir around these demos at the Finisar booth!
We also introduced a new Finisar GPON Stick for PON applications. As always, we enjoyed showcasing our latest products and innovative technology at this international event.
As ECOC 2011 came to an end and we made our way back across the pond, we turned our thoughts to a great fall season and already look forward to seeing all of you at next year’s event in Amsterdam.
