Broadex launches 200G modules for intra-data-center interconnects

Optoelectronic component maker Broadex Technologies Co Ltd of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang, China (which has R&D and production facilities in Shanghai and Chengdu as well as in Edinburgh, UK) has launched a full suite of 200G modules for intra-data-center applications (available now), including 200G copper cables, optical cables and optical transceiver modules (enabling Broadex to provide a one-stop solution for all 200G application scenarios in hyperscale data-centers).

“We expect that 200G products will become a popular choice for data-center operators in the next few years as they seek to achieve higher-speed connections at decreased costs,” says CEO Dr Wei Zhu. “As an intermediary data rate between 100G and 400G, 200G strikes an effective balance between cost and performance, helping data-center operators to achieve a smooth bandwidth upgrade in a cost-effective way. 200G provides a flexible path through which to scale the internal data-center structure and the underlying interconnections at a low economic cost,” he adds.

Broadex’s 200G series transceivers utilize a QSFP56 package, while the 200G direct attach cable (DAC), active copper cable (ACC) and active optical cable (AOC) support a wide variety of ‘break-out’ options. The AOC, SR4 and FR4 products adopt 4x50G PAM4 signal transmission and the core optical and electrical chips, such as lasers, drivers and digital signal processor (DSP), are mostly off-the-shelf standard components. This enables full flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of application scenarios and ensure continuity of supply at a manageable cost.
