Large hyperscale and cloud data centers are rapidly migrating fiber optic links to 800 Gigabits (G) and 1.6 Terabits (T) speeds. This move is necessary to meet the increasing demand from AI workloads and other high-performance computing applications.  According to port shipment forecasts published by Dell'Oro Group, 800G is currently the fastest-growing segment of the mar …

As highlighted in our last blog, the increasing demand for high-speed parallel optics in data centers relies heavily on multi-fiber MTP/MPO cables for cost-effective transmission across multiple fibers. For example, 100, 200, and 400 Gigabit SR4, VR4, and DR4 applications utilize 8 fibers (4 transmitting and 4 receiving at 15, 50, or 100 Gb/s per lane), while 400 and 800 Gig S …

Which Network Transceiver Do I Need? In networking, transceivers are the critical components that enable data transmission. The name “transceiver” comes from the fact that these components consist of both receiver and transmitter assemblies required for data transmission. While transceivers can be embedded into short-reach direct attach copper and optical cables, …
