Guest Blog400G is now under release over multiple form-factors: QSDFP-DD, OSFP and CFP8. While the short-term deployment is on the access side, and mainly for intra-DC application, other applications such as DCI and transmission are also going on the 400G direction. As we are now getting familiar with the form-factors and the PAM4 modulation, it is […]
Guest BlogThanks to the 400G technology, a new QSFP28 100G module type is coming. The QSFP28 100GBASE-FR, also called QSFP28 100G single lambda, will be a single laser and a single receiver of 100Gbps instead of being 4x25Gbps (4x lasers and 4x receivers). Back to the regular QSFP28 4x25Gbps The QSFP28 100Gbps is a parallel optic, […]
Guest BlogWhat’s the difference between 400GBASE-LR8 and 400GBASE-LR4? Both QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers can transmit at 400Gbps using 8 lanes of 50Gbps PAM4 or 4 lanes at 100Gbps PAM4. But what’s the real difference behind 50Gbps PAM4 and 100Gbps PAM4? How do we achieve this transition? Pre-requirements Modulation For all optical transceivers transmitting up […]
