The 400GbE ecosystem has been designed to address the growing
bandwidth requirements of expanding hyperscale data centers. In
fact, according to a recent Cisco report entitled The Zettabyte Era
— Trends and Analysis, global IP traffic is expected to increase
nearly threefold over the next five years.
Ixia currently supports and collaborates with several key
multisource agreement (MSA) development groups to help drive the
effectiveness and efficiency of 400GbE technology, including:
- Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable
(OSFP), a new pluggable form factor with eight high speed
electrical lanes that supports 400 Gbps and addresses higher power
requirements required by 400G optics, and
- Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double
Density (QSFP-DD), a new pluggable form factor which maintains
backwards compatibility with QSFP28 while it quadruples aggregate
switch bandwidth and maintains port density
Based on its own Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Physical
Coding Sublayer (PCS), Ixia will showcase (at booth
4Y17) 400 GbE technology via eight Pulse Amplitude
Modulation (PAM4) electrical lanes, defined as 400GAUI-8 by
IEEE802.3bs, using direct attached copper cables, including:
- The Industry’s first public showing of
a 400 GbE PAM4 OSFP test solution with TE Connectivity
- A 400GbE PAM4 QSFP-DD demo in
collaboration with Cisco and Foxconn Interconnect Technology
In addition, Ixia will demonstrate the company’s 400GbE CFP8
interface using Finisar’s MSA-compliant LR8 extended reach
transceiver module operating over single mode fiber. The Ixia CFP8
test system complies with the IEEE802.3bs 400GAUI-16 electrical
interface.
Hear from Ixia Labs
On June 8th at 12:00 noon in Room C, Thananya Baldwin, Senior
Director, Strategic Programs, Ixia, will be speaking on 400GbE
adoption, providing insights into new standards and emerging form
factors competing for the hyperscale data center business.
