While the industry is working its way to ramp up volume deployment of 400G client optics into cloud data center networks, all eyes are now turning to 800G optics with the release of 25.6T switching ASIC, to satisfy the high bandwidth demand for high-performance and cloud computing applications. FS CEO Daniel Xiang said: “Source Photonics has already established itself as a market leader in optical communication technology with deep engineering and manufacturing capabilities. We share a common vision to deliver customer-centric solutions and top-quality services, which will bring far more value for our clients.”
Source Photonics has just recently won the industry Data Center Innovation/Best Product award at ECOC Exhibition 2021 in Bordeaux, France for its family of industry-leading 800G OSFP and QSFP-DD pluggable solutions. John Wang, President at Source Photonics said: “Partnering with FS represents a great opportunity for Source Photonics to further expand our presence to serve a broader range of customers. FS has already demonstrated its capability to apply its excellent expertise to various market segments.”
The product portfolio of 800G optical transceivers enables the industry-leading performance and power consumption required by higher density data center interconnections.
