CHATSWORTH, Calif, Sep. 9, 2009

Source Photonics Inc., a leading provider of optical communication
products used in telecommunication systems and data communication
networks, today announces the TPT series Small Form Factor (SFF) 300 pin
tunable transponder product family.

The TPT series SFF 300 pin tunable transponder product family includes
both zero chirp and negative chirp modulation options. Both are fully
compliant with 300 pin Multi Source Agreement (MSA) as well as related
SONET/SDH, Ethernet and Fiber Channel standards. The product family has
two types of packages, the regular SFF size (2”x3”x0.53”) and ultra-thin
size (2”x3”x0.45”). The TPT series SFF 300 pin tunable transponder is a
feature rich product which includes the built-in channel ID, built-in
SBS suppression, EDC (Electrical Dispersion Compensation) and flexible
Tx/Rx rate selection functions. It provides a wide tuning range
capability up to 100 channels with 50GHz channel spacing. The tunable
transponder has typical power consumption of 6W.

“With the boom of internet video applications as well as emerging 3G
wireless network deployments, bandwidth requirements are still growing.
However, customers now want to have all features combined into one
module to reduce the inventory cost and maximize their investment,” said
Sheng Zhang, Executive Director of Product Development at Source
Photonics. “Our cost-effective TPT series SFF 300 pin tunable
transponder product family provides this comprehensive solution to our
customers.”

The TPT series SFF 300 pin tunable transponder product family
complements Source Photonics’ existing 10-Gb/s product portfolio that
includes SFP+ and XFP transceivers, and fixed wavelength 300-pin
transponders. The TPT series SFF 300 pin tunable transponder product
family has passed qualification and Telcordia reliability test
requirements and is currently shipping to customers.

The TPT product family will be on display at this week’s CIOE Sep 6-9,
in Shenzhen, China at Source Photonics Booth #469.
