Source Photonics demos full 400G product portfolio at ECOC

Source Photonics Inc of West Hills, CA, USA (which provides optical connectivity products for data centers, metro and access networks) is demonstrating its complete 400G portfolio with industry partners at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2019) in Dublin, Ireland (23-25 September).

Source Photonics has supplemented its portfolio of single-mode products for data-center and routing applications by adding a wide range of new products leveraging its multi-year investment in 28Gbaud and 53Gbaud PAM4 (4-level pulse amplitude modulation) technology and supporting 400G applications for reaches from 500m up to 40km in small-form-factor transceivers.

Source Photonics’ portfolio of data-center and routing products includes:

400G-DR4 supporting 400GE links over 500m as well as an enhanced reach of up to 2km (4x100G-FR) with support for breakout into 100G-DR/FR;
400G-LR8 supporting 400GE links up to 10km; and
400G-ER8 supporting 400GE links up to 40km as a technology demonstration.

“Successful interoperability between optical transceivers and hosts is crucial to rolling out the next higher-data-rate connectivity,” says Ed Ulrichs, director of product line management (PLM). “Together with our partners in the industry, we aim to bring next-generation solutions to our customers and provide the high-speed connectivity they require.”

Source Photonics is showing error-free traffic through a link involving Viavi’s ONT 603 unit and QCT’s QuantaMesh BMS T9032-IX9 switch connected with various Source Photonics 400G optical transceivers.

Source Photonics is giving live traffic demonstrations of its latest 400G optical transceivers in booth 57 at ECOC. The firm is accepting orders now for production shipments.
