Eoptolink's 1.6T LRO Modules Set New Standard at OFC 2025
Barcelona, Tuesday, 1 April 2025.
Eoptolink unveiled its 1.6T LRO modules at OFC 2025, achieving a 30% reduction in power consumption by eliminating DSP components, enhancing data center efficiency and scalability.
Breakthrough in Power Efficiency
Eoptolink’s latest innovation represents a significant advancement in optical transceiver technology, achieving a 30% reduction in power consumption through the elimination of DSP in the receive path [1]. The 1.6T LRO transceiver, operating at 212Gb/s per lambda, employs retimers at the transmit side and linear receivers on the receive side, establishing a new benchmark for power-efficient data transmission [2].
Advanced Technical Specifications
The technology showcases impressive versatility through its comprehensive product lineup, including the EOLO-13T-5H-xDxx 2DR4 OSFP with dual MPO-12 connectors and the EOLO-16T-02-xxx 2FR4 OSFP featuring two duplex LC connectors [3]. Both Silicon Photonics and EML variants are available, providing flexibility for different deployment scenarios. The company’s second-generation offerings incorporate 3nm DSP technology, promising an additional 20% reduction in module power consumption [3].
Multicore Fiber Integration
In a parallel development, Eoptolink has introduced groundbreaking multicore fiber (MCF) technology, addressing the growing bandwidth demands of AI workloads in data centers [4]. This innovation significantly reduces total fiber count and installation space requirements, while maintaining direct connectivity without the need for external single-core-to-multicore converters [4].
Market Impact and Future Outlook
The demonstrations at OFC 2025 in San Francisco mark a pivotal moment in optical communication technology [5]. Industry experts anticipate these advances will particularly benefit AI/ML clusters, cloud data centers, and 4G/5G wireless applications [1]. The company continues to showcase these innovations at booth #2943, highlighting their commitment to advancing optical transceiver solutions for next-generation network infrastructure [1][3].
