VIAVI recently participated in, and was a Gold sponsor of, the High Speed Networking event held by LIGHTWAVE and the Broadband Technology Report. During the event, experts from VIAVI participated in several webcasts that are now available to stream for free. Before you view either, you will have to register (for free). Once you register, […]
If you would like a more in-depth review of what the path forward with 800G pluggable optics may look like may we suggest watching Preparing the Way for 800G: 100G Electrical and 800G Pluggable Optics. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– The creation of the 800G ecosystem has begun. Alpha samples of 800G OSFP modules have been demonstrated and we […]
One of the great challenges facing data communications is matching the silicon bandwidth with the face plate density. Today, switch silicon can process over 12 Tb/s. But getting this off the front panel at a reasonable density is a challenge. One direction is to move to faster Ethernet speeds. A great example of this is […]

One of the questions we get asked now and then is on the connector life in our ONT products. Pluggable optical modules can be plugged in and out of our test sets, both as part of their test and validation but also in normal applications engineers will plug in and out different optical interfaces in […]
Pluggable coherent optics are now being developed for 400G applications with two distinct streams emerging. One is high performance CFP2 based for 1000+km reach and multi-service applications and the other is QSFP-DD ZR (and perhaps OSFP) for DCI and metro Ethernet applications. Both streams present new challenges for test and measurement, not just to meet […]
