Pluggable Overview

Pluggable optics are interchangeable transceiver modules that connect various network components, including switches, routers, and servers, to convert high-speed electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. Pluggable optics are most commonly used in data center optics as they are flexible, scalable, and compatible with a broad range of networking devices and standards. One advantage of pluggable optics is that the user can tailor the transceiver inside the module to the data rate and other network architecture requirements, while other optical interconnects use light to transmit data within a compute architecture. The demand for pluggable optics is increasing in data centers, owing to their benefits, such as cost-effectiveness, wide compatibility, and ability to reduce power consumption. They are typically a high-speed and low-power solution and are compatible with various other devices.

Pluggable Optics for Data Center Market Drivers and Opportunities

Focus on Product Development to Favor Market

Pluggable optics enable data center operators to easily upgrade or replace transceivers without having to completely rebuild the cable system. The rising demand for pluggable optics in data centers encourages manufacturers to develop new innovative products that are capable of meeting the dynamic requirements of customers. For instance, in March 2024, Infinera Corporation launched a new line of ICE-D to improve intra-data center connectivity. ICE-D is a new line of high-speed intra-data center optics based on monolithic indium phosphide (InP) and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology. ICE-D optics are designed to significantly reduce cost and power per bit while offering intra-data center connectivity at speeds of 1.6 terabits per second (Tb/s) or more. This technology allows data center operators to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth while being cost-effective.
