In lieu of the global coronavirus concerns and its cancellation of participation at the OFC 2020 event, MACOM has conducted product demonstrations directly from its U.S. design centers to its worldwide customers in private, one-on-one interactive demonstrations by video conference. The company utilized video conferencing to showcase its newest optoelectronic and photonic products and components between during the event dates (March 8-12).

The demonstrations were hosted by MACOM’s optical and high-speed data design and applications engineering teams. Customers also had the opportunity to ask questions and interact with MACOM staff during the demonstrations.

Live Streaming Video Demonstrations Included:

DEMO #1: 100Gbps DR/FR PAM4 Product Demonstration

Leveraging MACOM’s latest PRISM DSP, 53 Gbaud TIA and high speed photodiode, this demonstration showcased an operating 100Gbps DR/FR PAM4 link over 2km of fiber. This chipset is ideally suited for point-to-point or 4 x 100Gbps breakout applications in the Data Center.

DEMO #2: Secure 50Gbps PAM4 Mid Haul for 5G Wireless

This demonstration showcased a complete 50Gbps PAM4 transmit and receive link over 10/20km fiber with Ethernet security.  It features five MACOM ICs including the new PRISM-50 DSP, silicon photonics, 26Gbaud TIA and high-speed photodetector. Ethernet security is provided by MACOM’S dual 100Gbps MACSec PHY, which also features both RS(544, 514) and RS(528,514) FEC.

DEMO #3: 100Gbps PAM4 Customer Interoperability

This demonstration highlighted MACOM’s latest 100Gbps single lambda PAM4 DSP chip in a leading OEM’s 100G FR QSFP28 module. This exhibit included a PAM4 100Gpbs bi-directional link covering both 2km and 10km on single mode fiber.

DEMO #4: 200/400Gbps PAM4 Open Eye MSA Solutions

This demonstration showcased MACOM’s high-speed analog chipset in modules that are compliant with the 200Gbps Open Eye MSA standards. It includes single mode modules and 200Gbps and 400Gbps multimode AOC modules plugged into commercial Ethernet switches supporting QSFP and QSFP-DD slots with 4x53Gbps and 8x53Gbps electrical interfaces. MACOM demonstrated its analog chipset is interoperable with IEEE compliant DSP-based modules.
