Acacia, now part of Cisco has announced two new additions to its portfolio of 400G coherent pluggable solutions.
Microchip Technology and Acacia have teamed up to help enable the market transition to 400G pluggable coherent optics for data centre routing, switching and metro optical transport network (OTN) platforms.
Acacia has revealed its 1.2T faceplate pluggable coherent module, which highlights an 'eighth generation' coherent interconnect module family, powered by the Jannu 5nm CMOS digital signal processor (DSP) ASIC.

Cable television network operators are readying themselves for customers to pull fibre deeper into their networks, finds Andy Extance
Windstream Wholesale has completed a live network trial in which it successfully deployed 400Gb/s single-wavelength transmission over 1,027km across its long-haul network between Phoenix and Los Angeles.
How will the next generation of optical networks provide the capacity to support unwavering increases in traffic, and does one solution really ‘fit all’? Keely Portway finds out
Cisco and Acacia Communications have now reached an agreement regarding their proposed merger, with an amendment to the original agreement
This paper describes how silicon photonic (SiPh) opto-electronic integration and packaging, with its improved RF performance, is designed to enable next-generation coherent transmission beyond 100Gbaud and provide network operators with the ability to avoid “half-step” capacity upgrades and allow them the full step upgrades they need without sacrificing reach or stranding network bandwidth when migrating from current-generation solutions.
