FIBERTOP launches new 400G CFP2-DC DWDM digital coherent optical module

FiberTop launches the innovative 400G CFP2-DCO DWDM digital coherent optical module, providing a new solution for optical communication networks. This article describes the features and benefits of this new product.

The 400G CFP2-DCO coherent optical module uses a 104-pin CFP2-MSA electrical connector for connecting the host card. The module has following system performance and features:

  • Operating rate up to 425 Gbps
  • PM-QPSK (200G) and PM-16QAM (200G / 400G) and PM-16QAM PS (200G) modulation formats
  • 100GE, 200GE, 400GE and OTU4 / OTUCn services
  • OTL4.4, FOIC1.4, CAUI-4 and FOIC1.2 electrical interfaces
  • Near-end / remote-end data loopback
  • CFP2 MSA Hardware Specification 1.0 with modifications compliant
  • CFP MSA Management Interface Specification 2.2 with modifications compliant
  • OTN framer and Ethernet MAC/PCS
  • LLDP packet listening
  • Hot-pluggable CFP2 form factor

The optical module consists of three functional parts: TX module, RX module and control module. All the control interface pins are provided by an internal microcontroller. This microcontroller can also be used for modulator control, software management, and alarm / performance event reporting.

The transmitter of the 400G CFP2-DCO coherent optical module provides a monitoring clock TXMCLK, which is mainly used as a reference for monitoring optical signals at the transmitter. This clock can be used to trigger a high-speed sampling oscilloscope.

FiberTop’s 400G CFP2-DCO DWDM digital coherent optical module provides excellent transmission capabilities. It supports DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, capable of transmitting multiple signals of different wavelengths simultaneously on a single optical fiber. In high-density data centers or transmission networks, high-bandwidth transmission can be achieved, greatly improving the scalability and capacity of the network.

Secondly, the module is highly adaptable and flexible. It is capable of transmission within a range of 120 kilometers to 1200 kilometers. With more choices and customized configurations, it is suitable for different network topologies and distance requirements.
