Acacia’s Tom Williams explains how optical transceivers, including 800 ZR/ZR+ and 1600 ZR/ZR+ coherent pluggable modules (line optics) and 1.6T pluggable modules (client optics), address the needs of scale out and across architectures. By leveraging the latest in coherent and client optics, the industry is well-positioned to meet tomorrow’s bandwidth needs, ensuring that the promise of AI is not held back by the limitations of the physical network.
