400G CFP8 PAM4 Pluggable Transceiver Modules increase port density by a factor of 8 as compared to existing 100G CFP Modules
“The drive for higher performance and higher density in optics is
increasing as transmission speeds move toward 400G,” said
NeoPhotonics’ high speed module technologies from the company’s QSFP28 and CFP2 dual rate 100G LR4 products are leveraged in this new 400G CFP8 LR8/FR8 PAM4 development. Notably this also leverages the company’s demonstrated 100G dual lambda PAM4 transmission introduced at ECOC 2015 and complying with the 400GBASE-LR8 standard.
“A number of market factors are driving the need for smaller and faster
400G Client Side transceivers, as the move to 400G cannot be reasonably
achieved by using the same 100G modules. We believe our 400G PAM4 CFP8
solution will fulfill key market needs by leveraging the superior link
performance of our high performance EML lasers, while reducing power
consumption through integration of technology leading CMOS PAM4
chipsets,” said
