Success Stories


Champion develops solution based on our customer’s needs.  What can we do for your network?



MMX (Extended Multimode)
40km Single Fiber
SFPs
GBICs


Extended Range Optics

1000SFPMMX/1000MMX
Go Further on Multimode Fiber
Champion’s MMX transceivers allow utilization of existing multimode fiber installations that may have been left unused due to distances exceeding the standard 500 meters allowed for GigE transmission, up to 2km on 62.5/125μm multimode fiber, and further on 50/125μm fiber.

The MMX, available in both GBIC and SFP form factor can extend that reach to 2km on 62.5/125um fiber, without the use of a mode-conditioning cable, thus freeing up old FDDI-install fiber, and saving you the cost and effort of pulling new fiber.

1000SFP40/1000LX40
Get past the LX without the cost and concern of a ZX
Champion's 40km GBICs and SFPs were designed to take advantage of better receivers and overcome a common problem facing many telcos: what to deploy when you are needing greater than an LX's range, and far from the power required for a ZX?

Many applications, including DSLAMs, are deployed within 25-30km of a central office (CO). This eliminates the LX, or 10km part, and means that a ZX will usually be deployed along with an attenuator. Add to this added complexity the price difference (sometimes as great at 4x the LX part) and an intermediate solution becomes much more attractive!

Champion's 1000SFP40 and 1000LX40 parts utilize a 1310nm laser and an enhanced receiver, allowing non-attenuated deployments of optics for intermediate-reach applications.

It should also be noted that, since the 1310nm laser is a less powerful laser than a standard 1550nm (used in a ZX) it can be matched, or face, standard LX transceivers without a concern for saturation of the receiver.

1000SFP120/1000ZXL
Increase your reach without amplification/regeneration
Champion's 100km GBICs and 120km SFPs were designed to take advantage of better receivers, and overcome a common problem facing many telcos: what to deploy when you are greater than an ZX's range, but amplification is cost- or location-prohibitive?

As the MAN grows, the range of 70-80km from a central office (CO) is becoming more commonplace. Over the range of a ZX typically means deploying a long-haul solution. Add to this added complexity the price difference, and the need for a higher-powered extended range optic becomes apparent.

Champion's 1000SFP120 and 1000ZXL parts utilize a hotter 1550nm laser and an enhanced receiver, allowing deployments of optics for extended-reach applications.
