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. Utilizing a parallel optical transmission architecture over four independent full-duplex channels, it supports aggregated 100Gbps transmission at 850nm wavelength. The Linear Pluggable Optics Multi-Source Agreement (LPO MSA) group has announced the release of its new 100Gbps-per-lane Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) specification, designed to enable optical interconnects supporting up to 800 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Engineered for performance, flexibility, and efficiency, this transceiver is ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and service providers. According to the LPO MSA, an LPO solution offers power savings for optical interconnect by removing the digital signal processing (DSP) function from the pluggable optical module. With fewer components in the pluggable module, we can scale manufacturing volume and cost to the level of today's 10G.
