AOCs are essential building blocks for hyperscale data centers and HPC systems. The explosive growth in data traffic demand in recent years has led to rapid iterative upgrades of optical modules with increasing transmission rates. 800G OSFP AOC provides a cost-efficient solution compared to using discrete optical transceivers and optical patch cables and is suitable for 800G connections within racks and adjacent racks. However, 400G and 800G products still use traditional complete DSP solutions. Although LPO has emerged as an attractive solution, it is hard to deploy in batches due to system-compatible issues. InnoLight claims its 800G LRO (Linear Receiver Optical Module) AOC using TX DSP and in-house SiPho PIC would be an optimal solution to help cost-effectively improve the data interconnection efficiency.
