Core Viewpoint - The article provides a comprehensive overview of optical transceiver terminology and standards, particularly focusing on the IEEE 802.3 standards that define the electrical and optical specifications for physical layer (PHY) communications. It aims to equip readers with the knowledge to understand optical transceiver product specifications like an industry expert [3][39]. Group 1: Optical Transceiver Basics - The naming convention for optical transceivers is derived from the IEEE Ethernet Working Group, which defines various standards under IEEE 802.3, including the upcoming 802.3dj standard that will support data rates of 200 Gbps to 1.6 Tbps [3][4]. - The optical interconnect definition typically follows a format that includes connector size, base speed, transmission distance, channel count, modulation scheme, multiplexing method, fiber mode, and additional information [3][4]. Group 2: Form Factors and Data Rates - The first part of the product name indicates the size specification of the pluggable connector, with QSFP representing a quad-channel small form-factor pluggable connector widely used in 400G networks [4][6]. - The maximum data rates for various form factors are outlined, with QSFP-DD supporting up to 400 Gbps and OSFP supporting up to 800 Gbps, indicating a trend towards higher data rates in optical communications [8][9]. Group 3: Effective Distance and Parallel Channels - Optical communication technologies are categorized into nine distance levels, from very short range (VSR) to long-distance (ZR), with the effective distance influenced by data rate, modulation method, and fiber quality [12][14]. - The example product operates with four parallel optical connections to achieve a total bandwidth of 400 Gbps, meaning each channel runs at 100 Gbps [15]. Group 4: Multiplexing and Modulation Schemes - Multiplexing methods, such as CWDM4, allow data from independent parallel channels to be combined into a single aggregated connection, enhancing bandwidth efficiency [18][20]. - Modulation schemes, including PAM4, are essential for converting electrical signals into optical signals, especially at higher data rates where signal distortion becomes a concern [21][24]. Group 5: Fiber Modes and Additional Information - Two main types of fiber are used in optical networks: single-mode fiber (SMF) and multi-mode fiber (MMF), with SMF being more suitable for long-distance and high-speed applications [31][36]. - Additional information in optical transceiver specifications may include reach, connector types, and the need for digital signal processing (DSP) to maintain signal integrity over longer distances [37][39].
