Source Photonics readies 800G QSFP-DD800 and OSFP transceivers

Source Photonics confirmed that its 800G QSFP-DD800 and OSFP transceivers are ready for pre-production.

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.”
