800Gb pluggable optics are now available and have a broad range of applications and reaches – from short reach intra-rack, through single mode fabric, to 120 km+ with ZR.

A combination of broad application space, coupled with 112G electrical SERDES speeds, advanced CMIS module management, and demanding cooling and power requirements make evaluation and validation of 800Gb pluggables a critical step in any product or service deployment. In a multi-vendor ecosystem, interoperability ‒ not just on the optical interface but on the module-to-host ‒ adds to the challenge.

VIAVI has enabled and accelerated pluggable optics development, validation, debugging and evaluation since the first days of 100G, and our experience and unique applications have continuously grown ready for the challenges of 800G today, and for 1.6Tb tomorrow!
