Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) technology has several advantages in the field of lower power consumption and reduced signaling latency, which make it an ideal and unique interconnect solution for AI and hyperscale data center applications.
The current generation of linear specifications originates from the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) CEI-112G-LINEAR-PAM4 (800 Gbps) specifications. The OIF has recently advanced this to a draft 224G version of the same linear interface, which is targeted for the 1.6T interconnect field.
This webinar discussion will review the important technical differentiators found in this emerging interconnect field and how the electro-optical interoperability and testing needs are being addressed to satisfy cutting-edge system interconnect performance requirements.
