OE Solutions unveils 10-W 400G QSFP-DD LR4 optical transceiver
OE Solutions is using OFC 2021 this week to debut a 10-W 400G QSFP-DD LR4 optical transceiver that will support reaches up to 10 km. The optical module, which leverages the standard four CWDM wavelengths from 1271 nm to 1331 nm, consumes 10 W, the company says. OE Solutions expects to make the optical transceiver available for testing in the fourth quarter of this year, with mass production following in the first quarter of 2022.
The 400G LR4 module will offer higher density and lower power consumption than multiple lower-speed parallel connections that total a combined 400G, OE Solutions points out. The use of the LR4 also with simplify the installation and verification, the company adds.
“We are very excited to announce our first 400G transceiver module,” said Per Hansen, vice president of marketing and sales at OE Solutions America. “This module utilizes the latest technology to enable a maximum power consumption of only 10 W, which is critical for many high-density applications in both telecom and datacom.”
OE Solutions will highlight the new 400G LR4 optical module as well as other products in its portfolio in Booth 1057 of the virtual OFC 2021, which runs between June 7 and June 11, 2021.
