Reduce Overall Costs with
Next Generation Coherent Technology

Silicon-based 800ZR, Interoperable 800G ZR+ and 400G ULH Coherent Pluggables

Powered by Delphi, Acacia’s 9th generation Digital Signal Processor ASIC

Designed to support metro and regional data center interconnect (DCI) upgrades, taking advantage of next-generation routers with 800G I/O ports. The high baud rate design and performance has already been proven in the deployed Acacia 140Gbaud CIM 8 performance-optimized coherent module.

400G versus 800G

Compliant to 800ZR and Interoperable 800G ZR+ Modules

  • Acacia’s interoperable 800G ZR+ leverages the OpenROADM interop PCS mode
  • 800ZR pluggables are fully compliant to OIF, with transmit power variants

400G QSFP-DD Module for Ultra Long-haul

  • 400G Long Haul and Ultra Long-haul (ULH) transmission capabilities across ROADM optical line systems
  • Utilize legacy QSFP-DD ports that currently support legacy 400G coherent transceivers

3D Siliconization Technology— An Acacia Innovation

This integration and packaging approach utilizes highly scalable and reliable volume electronics manufacturing processes that apply integration and 3D stacking packaging techniques to enable a single device to include all the high speed opto-electronic functions necessary for coherent transceivers.

3D Siliconization not only decreases footprint by including into a single device the DSP, PIC, drivers, and TIAs, but it also results in improved signal integrity and performance because the high-speed RF interfaces are tightly coupled together, resulting in the reduction of electrical interconnects. The device is manufactured using standard CMOS packaging processes that leverage the same reliability, cost, and volume scaling advantages.
