June 25, 2024. Singapore – FIBERSTAMP has launched Color ZR+ 100G QSFP28 PSM DWDM4 optical transceivers for Non-coherent subsystems in March this year. It is based on 4x25G NRZ four-carrier DWDM solution, available in C-BAND and O-BAND series. Efficiently spanning distances of more than 80 km, it provides a more cost-effective DWDM transport solution for data center Interconnect (DCI) and metro area networks. Since its launch, it has been widely used in the client sides and has been highly recognized by customers.
Now FIBERSTAMP is offering a new Color X Series 100G QSFP28 DWDM1 O-BAND silicon optical transceivers based on 150Ghz O-BAND DWDM Grid, single-wave 100G PAM4 silicon optical modulation technology platform. Duplex LC interface is adopted to provide 16 wavelengths for selection, achieve 1600G total bandwidth on SMF dual-fiber, meet DCI interconnection applications, and can achieve 30km transmission under the support of SOA optical amplifier (10km transmission without SOA), without the need for dispersion compensation DCM module, the power consumption of this optical transceiver is less than 3.5W. Compared with coherent DWDM, this scheme has the advantages of low cost, low delay, low power consumption and easy deployment.

The product has the advantages of low power consumption and high performance, and the key parameters are as follows:
- TDECQ per channel is less than 2.4dB, which is better than the protocol specification <3.4dB;
- Rx Sens(OMA) sensitivity is better than -9dBm@2.4e-4 Pre-FEC 53GBd PAM4, better than the protocol specification <-6.1dBm;
- The maximum power consumption of the optical transceiver is less than 3.5W.
