OPTOMIND: New AOC Solution in the Rack

Optomind’s optical engine design is intended for high-volume manufacturing to support hyper-scale data centers at acceptable costs. Optomind’s optical engine attaches optical fiber to the module directly instead of using any type of optical ferrule. This design can adopt optical fibers with glass and plastic without any complications. Its optical module is alignment-free and does not require any high precision equipment or skilled operators.

Big Trends in Optics

Yung Sung, Chief Technology Officer at Optomind discusses the path to Active Optical Cables and short reach optics for top of rack. AOC and SR optics will occupy ToR, EoR, MoR for data rate at 400G, 800G and beyond. At 100Gbps per lane, paradigm shift from copper to fiber is becoming true and multimode fiber structured cabling will dominate interconnect application. Cable attached transceiver will be popular in EoR and MoR architecture in the rack.
