Source Photonics Announces 800G QSFP-DD800 and OSFP Transceivers are Ready for Pre-Production


Source Photonics, a leading vendor of innovative and reliable optical connectivity products for hyperscale data center and optical transmission applications, announces 800G QSFP-DD800 and OSFP transceivers are ready for pre-production during the OFC 2022, the premier event in fiber communications and networking - taking place from March 6-10, 2022 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Source Photonics 800G PAM4 OSFP/QSFP-DD800 optical transceivers incorporates the in-house vertically integrated 53G EML laser chips and the state-of-the-art 7nm 800G DSP chip for lowest power consumption. It provides various optical fiber connector choices, a smooth transition from single to dual port 400G optics in the 800G form factor, that requires backward compatibility with the large installment base of fiber plants.

"Multiple 800G transceiver offerings in different form factors with various optical interfaces will be available to support our customers to smoothly upgrade their datacenter optical connection from 400G to 800G," said Frank Chang, Chief Engineer, and head of the CTO office at Source Photonics. "After successful product demonstration and interoperability tests, these transceivers are ready for pre-production now, and we are accepting volume orders from key customers."

Source-Photonics will demonstrate its complete 800G product portfolio along with our industry partners at OFC 2022 from March 8 to 10. This successful interoperability demonstration provides customers the confidence to accelerate design and development of their 800G capable next-gen systems.
