Breakthrough HYBRID Electrical Architecture: 800G OSFP HYBRID ACC+
Designed for commercial interconnects exceeding 5 meters, the 800G OSFP HYBRID ACC+ delivers approximately 50% lower latency and cost compared to traditional AEC architectures.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Efficient Architecture: Utilizes 16 copper pairs to enable 8-channel 112G PAM4 electrical interconnects, requiring only a 4-channel DSP per end—compared to traditional AEC solutions that require 8-channel DSPs.
- Superior Signal Performance: Achieves a target pre-FEC BER better than 1E-8, significantly enhancing system SNR and receive eye quality.
- Lower Power Consumption: Typical power consumption is approximately 7W per end, about 40% lower than conventional AEC solutions (~12W per end).
- Cost and Latency Optimization: Delivers roughly 50% improvement in both cost and latency compared to traditional AEC architectures, outperforming standard ACC designs.
Lightwave Judge’s comment: “The performance and power savings enabled by the Fiberstamp 800G OSFP HYBRID ACC+ introduce a better solution for today’s ACC applications at 800G/port speeds.”
Advancing 1.6T Interconnects with Silicon Photonics: 1.6T OSFP224 HYBRID PSM8-AOC-SiPho
Built on an advanced silicon photonics (SiPho) platform, the 1.6T OSFP224 HYBRID PSM8-AOC-SiPho is engineered for high-performance data centers and AI compute clusters. The module supports transmission distances of at least 500 meters over single-mode fiber (SMF).
Key Performance Specifications:
- High-Speed Transmission: Supports ≥500m over SMF.
- Lower Power Consumption: Maximum power consumption below 21W, approximately 20% lower than traditional DSP-based solutions.
- Ultra-Low Latency: Reduces link latency by around 50% compared to conventional DSP AOC architectures.
- Excellent Signal Integrity: Achieves a pre-FEC BER of 1E-8 over a 500m SMF link.
Lightwave Judge’s comment: “This product provides an economic solution before 200G VCSEL becomes viable.”
High-Efficiency Multimode Connectivity for AI Deployments: 800G OSFP HYBRID VR8-AOC
The 800G OSFP HYBRID VR8-AOC is engineered for next-generation data center and AI-driven applications, supporting multimode fiber connectivity.
Core Features and Benefits:
- High-Speed Performance: Supports up to 30m over OM3 and 50m over OM4 multimode fiber (with KP4-FEC enabled).
- Lower Power Consumption: Consumes less than 9W, approximately 30% lower than traditional DSP solutions.
- Reduced Latency: Cuts link latency by roughly 50% compared to conventional DSP-based AOCs.
- Superior Signal Quality: Achieves pre-FEC BER levels of E-7/E-8 over a 50m OM4 link.
- Cost Advantage: Overall system cost reduced by approximately 21% compared to existing DSP solutions.
Lightwave Judge’s comment: “A winning combination: High capability, low power consumption, ultra-low latency.”
