Eoptolink launches OSFP 1.6T DR8 and 2FR4 series
Chengdu, September 20, 2024 – Eoptolink Technology Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of optical transceiver solutions, announced the launch of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers to enable next-generation high-bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud data centers. Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers feature 8 electrical host interface channels and 8 optical channels operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). These modules are equipped with the industry's latest DSP and support transmission distances up to 2 km without regenerating FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules are equipped with one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 module is designed with a duplex LC connector and uses only 2 pairs of optical fibers, which can help users save fiber resources compared to the DR8 and DR8-2 versions. The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 portfolio includes: –EOLO-13T-5H-XMX OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500 meters, MPO-16EOLO-13T-5H-XDX OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m,…
ECOC 2024: 800G, 1.6T… (and AI, of course)
The 2024 European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) takes place next week, and AI is expected to be a hot topic again as people continue to think about where AI will have the biggest impact and how network operators can ensure they are ready to future-proof their networks to handle the expected surge. In addition to AI, there are also exciting and coherent technical developments in pluggable interoperable interfaces for 800G and 1.6T. These topics will also be top of mind at the show as the industry discusses how to make these transitions as smooth as we saw with 400G. The Impact of AI on Optical Transport NetworksWhile recent attention on high-capacity interconnects for AI applications has been focused on short-reach connections within AI clusters, the industry is already seeing bandwidth demands begin to increase, requiring additional coherent connections between AI-enabled data centers. While it is widely accepted that the bandwidth demands created by AI applications will lead to increased…
