FS and Source Photonics Announce Official Partnership on 400G/800G Optics to Scale Data Center Connectivity
800G pluggable transceivers enable cost-effective 25.6T and 51.2T next-generation data center switches
September 30th, 2021 – FS.com, a high-speed communication solution provider for data centers, enterprises, and telecom networks, announced today its strategic cooperation with Source Photonics, a global leader of innovative and reliable optical communications technology. Two companies have jointly led market introduction of 800G pluggable transceivers—2x400G-FR4 QSFP-DD, 2x400G-FR4 OSFP, 800G DR8 QSFP-DD and 800G DR8 OSFP—to serve hyperscale data centers for next-generation high-speed connectivity. Volume shipment is expected to start in Q1'2022.
While the industry is working its way to ramp up volume deployment of 400G client optics into cloud data center networks, all eyes are now turning to 800G optics with the release of 25.6T switching ASIC, to satisfy the high bandwidth demand for high-performance and cloud computing applications. FS CEO Daniel Xiang said: "Source Photonics has already established itself as a market leader in optical communication technology with deep engineering and manufacturing capabilities. We share a common vision to deliver customer-centric solutions and top-quality services, which will bring far more value for our clients."
Source Photonics has just recently won the industry Data Center Innovation/Best Product award at ECOC Exhibition 2021 in Bordeaux, France for its family of industry-leading 800G OSFP and QSFP-DD pluggable solutions. John Wang, President at Source Photonics said: "Partnering with FS represents a great opportunity for Source Photonics to further expand our presence to serve a broader range of customers. FS has already demonstrated its capability to apply its excellent expertise to various market segments."
The product portfolio of 800G optical transceivers enables the industry-leading performance and power consumption required by higher density data center interconnections.
