Optical comms market set for 100G surge in 2016
In the optical communications markets, demand for 40G transceivers is now “ramping up hard” as data centers deploy 40GbE (Ethernet), particularly as a high-density 10G interface via breakout cables. Also, 40G QSFP (quad small form factor pluggable) demand growth over single-mode fiber is the consequence of large shipments … Continue reading “Optical comms market set for 100G surge in 2016”
