Compared to DSP-based 800G optical modules, 800G LPO modules can reduce power consumption by up to 50%—a critical benefit for data centers focused on lowering energy usage and operational expenses. The reduced power consumption also mitigates thermal load on switches and servers, resulting in. According to market analysis, by 2025, global data center traffic is expected to reach tens of zettabytes, driving widespread adoption of 400G and 800G technologies. As a double-density form factor, QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) has become the mainstream choice.

The mainstream SerDes on the market today have a speed of 100Gbps (100 billion bits per second), which means that each channel can transmit 100Gbps of data. This SerDes technology is referred to as 100G SerDes. according to one report, the bandwidth of switch chips using 100G SerDes is projected to.
