Finisar's DWDM Transceivers Provide a Convenient Alternative to Traditional DWDM Solutions for Metropolitan Access and Core Network Systems

Sunnyvale, CA, January 31, 2006 * * * Finisar Corporation (Nasdaq: FNSR), a technology leader and pioneer in gigabit fiber-optic solutions for high-speed data and telecommunication networks, today announced the production launch of its industry-leading dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) small form factor pluggable (SFP)transceivers.

Finisar's DWDM SFP transceivers enable system vendors to simultaneously accelerate time-to-market and provide an easy-to-use DWDM interface for their customers by offering a pluggable alternative to traditional discrete solutions. The products are ideally suited for metropolitan access and core network systems.

Finisar's transceivers are compatible with the latest DWDM SFP multi-source agreement (MSA), of which Finisar is a founding member. Offering the lowest power consumption in the industry with a maximum specification of 1 Watt total power, the transceivers enable backwards compatibility in legacy systems previously designed for standard SFP transceivers. The DWDM SFPs are also fully RoHS (restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances) compliant and lead-free.

"Finisar has a history of leadership in WDM pluggable transceivers, and launching the production of the DWDM SFP transceiver continues to drive that tradition," said Atikem Haile-Mariam, product marketing manager for WDM transceivers at Finisar. "We remain committed to delivering on our customers' needs and we're confident that the Finisar DWDM SFP offers a strong solution for telecommunication systems designers looking for higher density solutions."

The FWLF-1631 is compliant with SONET/SDH specifications from OC-3/STM-1 to OC-48/STM-16, 1/2 Gb/s Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The transceiver can be deployed in data links with spans of up to 120 kilometers.
