Due to their compatibility with various networking devices and standards, pluggable optics have become the most common type of data center optical technology. As the need for large-scale data transmission continues to climb, traditional 100G, 200G, and 400G optical modules can’t keep pace with new market demands. To address the ever-increasing bandwidth requirements, 800G optical modules are emerging as a prominent trend.
Driven by module/embedded pluggable, the coherent pluggable optics market is predicted to reach new heights. According to further analysis from Dell’Oro Group, the market will grow to $13 billion by 2027. Specifically, pluggable transceivers are projected to grow at the highest rate and contribute most of the volume growth for the next five years.
But the industry is not standing still. As the deployment of 800G coherent optical engines continued, this year saw the first deployments of wavelengths capable of 1.2T of capacity. Industry watchers expect 1.6T will continue to pick up steam in 2025.
During this web chat, Sean Buckley, Editor in Chief of Lightwave+BTR talked with Josef Berger, Associate Vice President of Marketing, Optical Interconnect for Marvell, about various issues related to the pluggable optics market:
- Long-distance pluggable optics market trends
- The latest developments (800G modules at 1000 to 2500 km)
- Why pluggable optics are important
- What lies ahead?
Listen to this webcast to learn more about how Marvell is helping drive the optical networking industry’s ongoing journey from 800G to 1.6T.
