What parameters should be tested for an 800g high-speed optical module
The specification is designed for 800 Gbit/s PAM4 optical modules operating at 100 Gbit/s per lane, detailing test procedures for optical and electrical interfaces, power consumption, and both interconnection and interoperability assessments. As data center bandwidth requirements rapidly increase, the optical communication industry is actively developing. From the chip level in the lab, right through to the manufacturing floor and onto live equipment in the field, electrical and optical components must be fully tested to ensure reliability and dependability. Electrical and physical layer validation: electrical BERT, component testing, calibration. Not all these need to be fully delivered for data center operators to benefit from 800G upgrades.
