Applied Optoelectronics, Inc (AOI) released two new multimode designs including a 400G QSFP-DD and an 800G OSFP. Both designs offers lower power consumption compared to previous generation solutions.
- The 400G design is available as either an Active Optical Cable (AOC) or 400GBASE-SR8 transceiver based on the Credo Seagull 452, an 8 x 50Gbps PAM4 DSP with integrated VCSEL drivers.
- The 800G design is available as either an Active Optical Cable (AOC) or 800GBASE-SR8 transceiver based on the Credo Dove 800, an 8 x 100Gbps PAM4 DSP.
“AOCs and multimode transceivers are an integral part of AI and Ethernet networks, as an interconnect between the GPU server, and leaf and spine switches,” said Dr. Fred Chang, SVP and GM from AOI. “With the rapid build-out of greenfield AI networks and the expansion of existing infrastructure, there is an urgent need to reduce network power dissipation and cost of ownership, while ensuring overall network robustness. AOI’s new 400G and 800G designs, featuring the Credo Seagull 452 and Dove 800 DSPs, take advantage of the latest technologies available on the market to address these challenges.”
