ColorChip to Exhibit 100G Transceivers at ECOC 2017
100G product family now in volume production in Israel and with contract manufacturer Fabrinet
ColorChip will be exhibiting a family of 100G QSFP28 transceiver products during the 2017 European Conference for Optical Communication (ECOC), providing optical interconnect solutions from 100m to 10,000m.
The 100G product family is in v100G product family is in volume production as ColorChip has significantly expanded the production facilities in both Israel and with contract manufacturer Fabrinet. ColorChip has invested $80M, secured over the past 2 years, to expand the throughput of its industrialised-optics TOSA/ROSA assembly lines in the Israel based facility and to double the optical module integration and testing floor space to 7,000 square feet in Fabrinet.
To meet tomorrow's datacentre needs, ColorChip is using the SystemOnGlass TOSA/ROSA platform in the development of both DML and EML based PAM4 optical engines, providing the pathway to compact, QSFPx-based PAM4 transceivers at data rates of 200G and 400G.
These building blocks will be deployed in the implementation of 200G FR4 solution available in QSFP56 form factor, followed by the realisation of 400G FR4/DR4 transceivers in QSFP-DD. ColorChip family of 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers provides a unique three generation, backward compatibility solution.
