It enables Ethernet-like links with 1, 2, 4, or 8 lanes for data centers, using low power, high port density, low cost, and low latency pluggable transceiver modules in form factors such as QSFP . With the SN2700 as the Spine and Leaf switch, this network topology uses 100G single-wave modules to interconnect the spine and leaf layers, providing high-speed and efficient data transmission. Samtec's FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™ embedded and rugged mid-board optical transceivers take data connection "off board" for up to 28 Gbps per lane with a path to 112 Gbps PAM4 via optical cable at greater distances, or copper for cost optimization. PAM4 is a branch of the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) technology, which is a mainstream signal transmission technology following non-return-to-zero (NRZ). Procurement models for hyperscale data centers are currently operating on a dangerous assumption: that the cost-per-bit for optical interconnects will naturally decay along historical curves. This article will explore the definition, features, advantages, application scenarios, and FS product highlights of 100G PAM4 DWDM optical modules. The 100G-DR-LPO specification by the LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) MSA defines 100 Gb/s/lane 53. 125 GBd PAM4 optical interfaces, optical links using standard single-mode fiber with up to 500 m reach, and host-module electrical interfaces for hosts with DSP based SerDes and RS(544,514) FEC.
