LRM is ready for market

摘要

While 10GBase-LX4 is the first optical interface standard developed to run at 10 Gbits/sec (10G) over multimode optical fiber backbones in vertical risers, 10G optical transceivers based on the newer 10GBase-LRM IEEE standard are expected to establish themselves as the preferred option for both current and future smaller form-factor modules because of the LRM's lower cost, smaller size, and greater manufacturability. LRM-compliant optical transceivers are now deploying to system vendor customers, and the standard itself is nearing final approval.
