 PROFILE
Finisar helps put the "work" in network with its equipment for enabling high-speed data communications over LANs and SANs (storage area networks). Finisar's optical subsystems (70% of sales) include data links (transmitters, receivers, and transceivers) and link extenders. Its network performance test systems analyze traffic and identify problems. The company is also developing optical links for cable television systems. Clients Newbridge Networks (acquired by Alcatel in 2000) and EMC (a maker of network storage products) each accounts for about 25% of Finisar's sales. The company, which outsources most of its assembly, is growing through acquisitions. Founder and chairman Frank Levinson owns about 20% of Finisar.
