“Semtech’s FiberEdge platform has once again set the bar in data center innovation, being one of the first innovators in the 200G per lane space,” said Nicola Bramante, senior product line manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “Demonstrating a fully operational 2 km link at 200Gbps rate represents a major milestone for the 200G per lane technology, which is expected to dramatically reduce the cost of very high-speed networking and to enable 1.6T and 3.2T optical module deployments.”

The FiberEdge 200G per lane PMD chipsets offer best in class bandwidth, noise and driver output swing with exceptional linearity and low distortion.

The FiberEdge 200G solutions will be demonstrated at the Semtech booth #322 during ECOC 2022, Sept. 18-22, in Basel, Switzerland. Register here.
