Multimode fiber (MMF) optical modules based on VCSEL technology provide a low cost and power efficient solution for 100 Gbps data center networks based on parallel multimode fiber, The IEEE recently standardized these systems as 100GBASE-SR4 (100GbE), providing a maximum reach of 100m on OM4 fiber. It would be very desirable to extend the reach to 300m OM4, while also saving on fiber plant costs by reducing or eliminating the need for parallel fiber.
