Tyco launches AMP NetconnectXG fiber system

Tyco Electronics has in troduced AMP NetconnectXG fiber system. The new fiber

system has been termed as a "one-fiber-fits-all" solution by the

company. It provides customers with a migration path from 10 Mbps up to 10 Gbps

utilizing the same multimode optical fiber cabling.

Comprised of a complete line of AMP/Pirelli XG fiber cables and AMP

Netcon-nectXG connectors and cable assemblies, the new 10Gbps standards-based XG

fiber system provides protection from re-cabling network infrastructures to

support bandwidth upgrades.

This fiber system supports 10 Gbps applications running over 300-meter

distance of structured cabling. This new optical fiber cable has been

"laser-optimized" at 850nm so that 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit

fiber channel applications can be fully supported.

"The new optical fiber cable provided with the AMP Netcon-nectXG Fiber

System delivers a laser bandwidth of 2,000 MHz at 850 nanometers," explains

Sitara-maiah, Senior Manager-System Engineering, Net-connectSolutions Division.

This not only complies with the optical fiber performance requirements of the

newest 10 Gbps laser-based standards, but also supports legacy systems using

light-emitting diodes or LEDs.
