Cutting transceiver sizes in half

    March 1, 1998
    A grou¥of six companies has signed a multisource agreement for development and delivery of next-generation fiberoptic transceivers that will be half the width of transceivers available today, reducing circuit-board space in fiberoptic data and telecommunications systems by u¥to 50%. Transceivers manufactured under the agreement will be 0.535 in. wide. (Standard transceivers manufactured today are 1 in. wide).
