200Gb/s DR4 and VCSEL-Based SR4 Transceivers
Target Next Generation Cloud and Web2.0 Hyperscale Data Centers
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX), a leading supplier of
high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for data
center servers and storage systems, today introduced a new
line of 200Gb/s silicon photonics and VCSEL-based transceivers in
the same QSFP28 package as today’s 100Gb/s products. These new
transceivers double the bandwidth for hyperscale Web 2.0 and cloud
100Gb/s networks. Mellanox is also introducing 200Gb/s Active
Optical Cables (AOCs) and Direct Attach Copper Cables (DACs),
including breakout cables, to allow for end-to-end 200Gb/s Ethernet
networks.
“Our hyperscale customers can double their bandwidth and scale
to 200G while using their existing installed fiber and without
changing to a new form factor,” said Amir Prescher, senior vice
president of business development and general manager of the
interconnect business, Mellanox Technologies. “There is no need to
wait for a new 400G form factor. Using the same QSFP package as
100G, Mellanox’s 200Gb/s products provide better ROI and compelling
cost advantages today.”
Specifically, Mellanox is announcing the following products:
- 200Gb/s 1550nm DR4 QSFP28 silicon
photonics transceiver for reaches of 500m on single mode fiber
- 200Gb/s SR4 VCSEL QSFP28 transceiver
for reaches of 100m on OM4 multi-mode fiber
- 200Gb/s QSFP28 Active Optical Cable for
reaches to 100m
- 200Gb/s QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper
(DAC) cable for reaches of 3m
- 200Gb/s QSFP28 to 4 x 50Gb/s SFP28
copper splitter cables to connect 50Gb/s servers to TOR
switches
The next generation of switches and servers will run at 50G per
lane interfaces. These transceivers and DACs support the new IEEE
200GAUI electrical standard, using 25GBaud PAM4 signaling,
literally doubling the lane speed.
Mellanox will be exhibiting at the Optical Fiber Conference
(OFC), March 21-23, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los
Angeles, CA, booth no. 3715. Mellanox will showcase live
demonstrations of all its end-to-end solutions in switching,
network adapter and copper and optical cables and transceivers,
including:
- Live 200Gb/s silicon photonics
demonstration
- Spectrum SN2700, SN2410 and SN2100
100Gb/s QSFP28/ SFP28 switches
- ConnectX®-4 and ConnectX-5
25G/50G/100Gb/s QSFP28/SFP28 network adapters
- LinkX™ 25G/50G/100Gb/s DAC & AOC
cables and 100G SR4 & PSM4 transceivers
- New Quantum switches with 40 ports of
200Gb/s QSFP28 in 1RUchassis
- New ConnectX-6 adapters with two ports
of 200Gb/s QSFP28
- Silicon Photonics Optical engines and
components
At OFC, the Company will also be demonstrating interoperability
of the Mellanox Silicon Photonics 100Gb/s PSM4 with Innolight, AOI,
Oclaro, and Hisense transceivers in both the Mellanox booth and in
the Ethernet Alliance booth, no. 1709.
