The 100G-DR-LPO specification by the LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) MSA defines 100 Gb/s/lane 53. 125 GBd PAM4 optical interfaces, optical links using standard single-mode fiber with up to 500 m reach, and host-module electrical interfaces for hosts with DSP based SerDes and. According to the LPO MSA, an LPO solution offers power savings for optical interconnect by removing the digital signal processing (DSP) function from the pluggable optical module. The LPO MSA has completed two specifications: the 100G-DR-LPO and the 400G-FR4-LPO. S Data Center Energy Use , published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centers account for 4.
