GigOptix chosen as sole long-reach TIA production partner by large 40Gbps QSFP+ transceiver supplier

GigOptix Inc of San Jose, CA, USA (a fabless supplier of analog semiconductor and optical communications components over optical fiber and wireless networks) says that it has become the sole long-reach (LR) transimpedance amplifier (TIA) supplier for one of the largest suppliers to the fast-growing 40Gbps QSFP+ LR transceiver market.

GigOptix has been a key supplier of TIAs for several years, having shipped hundreds of thousands of LR TIA devices to channel partners to date. GigOptix says that the new supply partnership with one of the world’s largest suppliers of optical communication components and subsystems further validates its position, as it aims to advance its place in the fast-growing QSFP+ market.

“This new supply agreement reaffirms our position as the leading industry merchant provider of TIAs to the heavily deployed 40Gbps QSFP+ LR transceiver market,” says Dr Raluca Dinu, general manager & VP of the Optics Product Line at GigOptix. “The success that GigOptix has seen in the LR market builds on our success in the short-reach (SR) datacom market,” he adds. “GigOptix is becoming the leading supplier of choice to many pluggable transceiver manufacturers,” Dinu claims.
