Edge Data CentersPotential growth area with VSCEL-MMF links
Hyperscale cloud computing drives a centralized computing model, edge computing swings pendulum back to distributed computing
Edge computing and edge data centers are growing rapidly
• Latency requirements • Localized computing needs
Edge data centers will be smaller, with reaches that make MMF/VCSELs an effective option

Evolution of network speeds to keep up with growing demandCourtesy LightCounting
• Networks are continually migrating to higher speeds
• 1G, 10G and 40G shipments are declining as higher speed modules take their place in networks around the world
• 100G shipments are ramping quickly• 400G will begin to ship in larger volumes in
the 2020-2021 timeframe• There will be a pause in 2019

• Add guidance for OM3 and OM4 bandwidth from 840nm to 953nm
• TR-42.12– TIA 492AAAx revisions
• Proposal to replace current TIA-492-AAAA, AAAB, AAAC, AAAD, and AAAE with a single document, adapting IEC 60793-2-10 to become TIA-492-AAAF.
Application Space
Enterprise Local Area Network (LAN)
– Riser Backbone –Primarily 10 Gb/s, migration to 40/100 Gb/s speeds
– New construction and office retrofit
– OM3, OM4, and OM5 fibers are standards based solutions for LAN networks
Data Center
Migration to 100/400 Gb/s SpeedsOM3, OM4, OM5 multimode fiber
Migration to 10/25/40/50 Gb/s SpeedsOM3, OM4, OM5 multimode fiber
Why Multimode Fiber instead of Copper?VCSEL-MMF links have greater bandwidth and reach
• 40Gb/s reach– Twinax – 7 meters (m)– Twisted Pair – 30 m– OM4 Multimode Fiber – 100 m
• Can be extended to 400/550m using engineered solutions
• Capacity limited– ≥ 10Gb/s speeds very challenging for
twisted pair– Twinax solutions become unwieldy as
speeds go beyond 10G. • Not suited for structured cabling
• EMI immunity
40Gb/s cable solutions – twinax (8 pair) vs. duplex fiber
Why Multimode Fiber instead of Singlemode?VCSEL-MMF links enjoy cost & power advantages
• Relaxed alignment tolerances (~10x) for laser, mux/demux, and connectors
• MMF connectors more resilient to dirt• Lower drive currents (5-10mA vs. 50-60mA)and on-wafer testing• Benefits will persist when comparing 400G technologies
for short reach• Gearbox function is needed to convert native 50G
PAM-4 to 100G PAM-4 with DR4 & FR4• Laser RIN reduction for PAM-4 is as, or more,
difficult for DFBs as VCSELs• Packaging for 1310nm sources at 100 Gb/s per lane
PAM4 has required significant development
– All these combine to give multimode links a continued cost advantage over singlemode links

• However, there is interest in switch to switch connections in specific markets, primarily in Asia.

100 Gb/s per wavelength VCSELsODCC Next Generation DCs in China
Open Data Center Committee (ODCC) recently completed study of “Next generation Data Center Connections in China,” which states: “MMF might still have a cost advantage and is
expected to evolve to 100G per wavelength” “30m is a reasonable first goal for MMF links for
AOC or transceivers in server interconnects” “Longer distance MMF transceivers are needed
for switch interconnects with transceivers” 50 m reach for switch to switch connections may
be required

Potential Next-Generation MMF Links based on 100 Gb/s PAM4 VCSELs
The potential PMDs for 100 Gb/s PAM4 VCSELs are: 100G-SR (SFP112) 400G-SR4 in quad module (400G QSFP56-DD ports) with breakout to
4×100GBASE-SR When 800G MAC rate is standardized in the future, 800G-SR8
Also possible in the future, when combined with two-wavelength BiDi transmission: 200G-SR1.2, 400G-SR2.2, 800G-SR4.2, and 1.6T-SR8.2 become feasible While four-wavelength SWDM4 technology combined with the same VCSELs could
support 400G-SR1.4, 800G-SR2.4, 1.6T-SR4.4. While only some of the above PMDs will have adequate support/need to become
either an IEEE 802.3 standard or MSA , 100 Gb/s PAM4 VCSELs lay the foundation for VCSEL-MMF links supporting 800G and 1.6T MAC rates as those rates become standardized in the future.
