Source Photonics has announced a comprehensive portfolio of 5G products serving front-haul, mid-haul and edge applications. The new product portfolio leverages several years of high-speed optical transceiver development and high-volume shipments into wireless, data center and routing applications, resulting in a broad portfolio of 25G, 50G and 100G products transmitting between 300m and 40 km.
Bandwidth hungry applications such as AI, VR and AR, have increased front-haul requirements from 10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s. The emergence of base station pooling and eCPRI is driving mid-haul and back-haul bandwidth requirements beyond 50 Gb/s while centralization and fiber constraints have increased the reliance on longer reach and WDM capabilities. Source Photonics’ advanced R&D and manufacturing investments in 25G+ transceivers position the company to continue delivering best-in-class quality products at scale. The 25G/50G/100G optical transceivers supported by in-house high-volume manufacturing capability will help to support the customers during their transition from 4G to 5G deployment.
Source Photonics’ portfolio of 5G transceivers include:
- 25G SFP28 LR Lite supporting 25G CPRI/eCPRI and 25GE links up to 2 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 25G SFP28 LR supporting 25G CPRI/eCPRI and 25GE links up to 10 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 25G SFP28 20Km supporting 25G CPRI/eCPRI and 25GE links up to 20 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 25G SFP28 BiDi supporting 25G CPRI/eCPRI and 25GE links up to 15 km on simplex single mode fiber
- 25G SFP28 LAN-WDM 6 channels from 1287nm to 1309nm; supporting 25G CPRI/eCPRI and 25GE links up to 20 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 50G QSFP28 LR supporting 50GE link up to 10 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 50G QSFP28 ER supporting 50GE link up to 40 km on duplex single mode fiber
- 100G QSFP28 LR supporting 100GE link up to 10 km on duplex single mode fiber
A live demonstration of 50G QSFP28 ER over 40 km fiber and 25G SFP28 LAN-WDM over 20 km fiber can be seen at the Source Photonics booth #4021 from March 5-7, at OFC 2019 in San Diego, CA.
