Source Photonics Reveals Silicon Photonics 400G DR4 Transceivers for Hyperscale Data Center Networks at OFC 2022
The Silicon-Photonics technology provides a critical path to enable better cost efficiency for high volume manufacturing of 400G transceivers
San Diego, California, – March 7, 2022 – Source Photonics, a leading vendor of innovative and reliable optical connectivity products for hyperscale data center and optical transmission applications, today announced the sampling of its Silicon-Photonics 400G DR4 QSFP56-DD products at OFC 2022 from March 6-10.
The Silicon-Photonic 400G DR4 transceivers are designed to work seamlessly with Source Photonics’ industrial leading pump laser chip. It exceeds the specifications for IEEE 802.3bs 400GBASE-DR4 optical interface and 400GAUI-8 electrical client interface. It supports links over 500m and 2km for breakout into 100GBASE-DR1 and 100GBASE-FR1. It leverages the 7nm DSP with 8W typical power consumption and is packaged into type 2 QSFP-DD form-factor with MPO-12 connector.
“Successful demonstration of Silicon Photonics 400G DR4 transceiver is a significant milestone on our path of product release. Source Photonics has proven its technical leadership in the datacenter market.” said Frank Chang, Chief Engineer, and Head of the CTO office at Source Photonics. “Together with our partners in the industry, we are thrived to bring high reliability and compelling cost per bit solution to our customers worldwide.”
Source Photonics will show error-free traffic on EXFO 400G/800G testers, please visit EXFO booth no. #4517 to see the live traffic demo of our Silicon-Photonics 400G DR4 optical transceivers.
Source Photonics is accepting orders for sample now.
