The growing demand for data centers and cloud computing resources has driven the development of hyperscale cloud data centers. The continuous growth of global data traffic is also driving the development of data centers from 100G to faster, larger bandwidth and lower latency. 400G will be a new direction for the upgrade and construction of the next-generation backbone network, and will become an inevitable trend in the development of data centers.
Many service providers have begun to deploy 400G network construction plans, such as Cisco, Huawei, etc. In the process of building a 400G network system, 400G optical modules play a crucial role. So, what is a 400G optical module?
What is a 400G optical module?
The 400G optical module is mainly used for photoelectric conversion. The electrical signal is converted into an optical signal at the sending end, and then transmitted through the optical fiber. At the receiving end, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal. The transmission rate of 400G optical modules is 400G, which was born to adapt to the network market of 100M, 1G, 25G, 40G to 100G, 400G, and even 1T. 400G optical modules play a crucial role and influence in the construction of 400G network systems.
