Acacia Communications Introduces Long-Haul CFP-DCO Module
September 19 2016 - 2:00AM
Acacia Communications (NASDAQ:ACIA), a leading provider of
high-speed coherent optical interconnect products, today announced
a new long-haul optical module solution as part of its AC100-CFP
product family. Acacia’s AC100-CFP product family was introduced in
2014 as a low power pluggable 100G optical transport solution
targeted for metro and datacenter interconnect (DCI)
applications. Acacia’s new long-haul CFP-DCO model is based
on Acacia’s latest silicon photonics integrated circuit (PIC) and
offers the enhanced performance features necessary for long-haul
applications.
Widely deployed in metro optical transport networks, the CFP-DCO
form factor contains an internal digital signal processor (DSP)
chip. Acacia’s long-haul CFP-DCO module is based on the same
subsystem design used on Acacia’s production released CFP-DCO for
power sensitive metro and DCI applications. Acacia shipped
more than 8,000 of its CFP-DCO modules during the second quarter of
2016.
In addition to improved receiver OSNR performance and 2500km of
dispersion compensation, Acacia’s long-haul CFP-DCO module offers
37.5GHz channel spacing and supports passive multiplexing in
CDC-ROADM applications. As a field replaceable pluggable
module, Acacia’s CFP-DCO can improve overall system reliability and
support a pay as you grow model.
“CFP-DCOs have already been widely adopted by the metro and DCI
market segments and the introduction of Acacia’s long-haul CFP-DCO
module allows us to expand the application space of our AC100-CFP
product family,” said Acacia’s President and Chief Executive
Officer Raj Shanmugaraj. “Our DSP and PIC technologies give us the
ability to develop high density pluggable solutions, like our new
long-haul CFP-DCO, that improve both power consumption and network
performance.”
