OIF Members Lead the Industry in 56G Interfaces and Pluggable Coherent OpticsOptical Internetworking Forum (OIF (News - Alert)) members are leading the market again in a live technology demonstration at OFC 2015 in Los Angeles, March 24-26, 2015, booth #613. The OIF Technology Showcase 2015 - It's Happening Now - 56G Electrical Interfaces and Pluggable Coherent Optics will highlight the OIF's groundbreaking technology work. The Forum's 4th generation Common Electrical Interface, CEI-56G, enables users to achieve new heights in CEI data rates. The technology showcase event will also demonstrate the OIF's CFP2-ACO technology, a coherent optics transceiver module in a CFP2 form factor, an optimal medium-term solution to maximize faceplate density and minimize install costs for metro/regional DWDM and data center applications. "The OIF has always demonstrated industry leadership, and this year at OFC is no exception," says Nathan Tracy, technologist at TE Connectivity and the OIF technical committee chair. "From key industry presentations on Carrier, SDN, and physical layer topics, to demonstrating live hardware that conveys the progress on defining pluggable coherent optics, the OIF brings the sharpest minds in optical networking together to solve the toughest problems. Our work on 56Gb/s interoperable electrical channel agreements is addressing multiple modulation solutions. By attracting developers whose expertise range from test equipment to optics to electronics to connectors to equipment OEMs, the OIF is developing the ecosystems required by future datacomm architectures."
