The most cost-effective 100G solution within 80km
The 100G PAM4 solution has a significant cost advantage over the 100G coherent solution. Products from PAM4 use the QSFP28 form factor, and it is possible to apply this module directly in 100G switch ports without equiping an additional 100G Transponder/Muxponder. With amplifiers and dispersion compensators, 100G PAM4 modules can transmit tens of kilometers. It is a high-efficiency solution for the interconnection of medium and short distance data centers.
