400G CFP8 Modules Utilize NeoPhotonics High
Performance Components to Offer Superior Performance on Links up to
10 km
NeoPhotonics (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer
of advanced hybrid photonic integrated optoelectronic modules and
subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high-speed communications
networks, today announced that it has begun sampling its 400G CFP8
transceiver modules, designed for data center interconnection and
client side telecom applications. This CFP8 represents the first
step on NeoPhotonics 400G roadmap for DataCenter and Client Side
applications
NeoPhotonics’ 400G PAM4 (4-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation)
CFP8 module leverages the company’s comprehensive high speed
component technologies, including its 28 Gbaud high performance and
low power EMLs (Electro-absorption Modulated Lasers) as well as its
high speed PIN photodiodes. The CFP8 module relies on the high
volume, production-proven 28 Gbaud component platform used in the
currently deployed NeoPhotonics 100G LR4 modules and leverages
NeoPhotonics continuous EML technology improvement specifically
focused on lowering power consumption while assuring superior high
speed performance. As part of this development, NeoPhotonics
recently announced an EML with the driver integrated into the EML
at the chip-on-carrier (CoC) level.
NeoPhotonics 400G CFP8 transceiver is designed to be compliant
with the IEEE 802.3bs 400GBASE- LR8 / FR8 specifications for links
up to 10 km.
“We are pleased to provide our customers this 400G CFP8 module
which extends our high speed product family in a manner that
leverages both our proven high performance and high volume
production capabilities, providing an efficient path to high
density and higher speed,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of
NeoPhotonics. “We believe our 400G PAM4 CFP8 solution will fulfill
imminent market needs by leveraging the superior link performance
of our high performance EML lasers, while reducing power
consumption through integration with technology leading CMOS PAM4
chipsets. We believe that this product firmly demonstrates our
leadership position at 400G,” continued Mr. Jenks.
