of Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI)-based solutions will showcase 40
gigabit Ethernet over 1 kilometer of multimode optical fiber at Cisco Live in
San Diego, CA June 10-14.
The technology display will be the longest distance
Ethernet transmission of its kind. In addition, the company said that it is a
Platinum Sponsor of this year’s e Cisco Live.
The demonstration will use 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ Ethernet
optical modules from Avago Technologies.

architects with the flexibility to deploy less expensive multimode fiber links
versus more expensive singlemode links – a savings in excess of $1,000 per
link.
The company said that the physical area of 40GbE-based
fabric architecture can be enlarged by a 25 percent through the performance of
Signature Core multimode fiber.
