Foxconn Signs to Partner With Finisar to Promote Laserwire(R) 10 Gbps Serial Interconnect

SUNNYVALE, CA and TAIWAN, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
Foxconn Technology Group and Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) today
announced a strategic partnership agreement in which Foxconn will
manufacture and sell Laserwire(R) connectors, adapters and cable
assemblies. Laserwire is a family of 10 Gbps active optical and active
copper cables designed to accelerate and support 10G Ethernet server
connectivity. Introduced by Finisar in 2007, the extended Laserwire
family consists of active cables, a high density electrical connector and
10G Ethernet adapter modules to facilitate adoption into legacy
transceiver ports.

"We are excited to add Laserwire to our product portfolio," said Caesar
Chen, Foxconn senior vice president of Cable R&D. "We have been following
Finisar's progress with Laserwire since its debut and are looking forward
to driving 10G Ethernet into LAN on Motherboard designs with this
partnership."

"Laserwire enables us to provide low power and low cost 10GbE connectivity
in the data center," said Barry Cioe, vice president of product management
at Enterasys. "Its flexibility to connect to our XFP and SFP+ ports allows
us to offer true plug and play across our entire product portfolio. Adding
a second source to Laserwire will help drive the 10GbE ecosystem to adopt
active cables into next generation network architectures."

"Finisar is thrilled to have Foxconn as an additional dependable provider
for Laserwire products," said Jan Meise, director of strategic marketing
at Finisar Corporation. "Foxconn has been a trusted leader in interconnect
solutions for a long time and shares our vision of driving low power, low
cost serial cables into next generation server connectivity. I have great
confidence in their ability to support customers with the same level of
service as Finisar."
