Welcome to the Family, C.wire!

Our active optical cable family, that is. Those of you who have been following the developments in this product line already know about Laserwire, our serial 10Gb/s cable and Quadwire, our parallel 40Gp/s cable offering. Today, at ISC ’09 in Germany, we unveiled C.wire, the industry’s first 150 Gbps parallel active optical cable for supercomputing and data center networking applications.

C.wire is based on the CXP form factor and uses fiber optic technology to transmit parallel high-speed data in 100G+ applications, such as Infiniband, 100G Ethernet and other proprietary high-speed interconnections. If you’re at ISC this week, you can stop by the Finisar booth #612 to see C.wire in action.

In other ISC ’09 demo news, Finisar will also be taking part in a 40Gb/s ecosystem demonstration alongside other leading vendors such as Voltaire, Intel and Sun Microsystems. Led by adapter and switch solution provider Mellanox, this demonstration is meant to highlight the capabilities of today’s latest high performance computing technologies.

More to come from ISC shortly.
