A tremendous sum of data is managed, exchanged, and distributed across the globe these days. Data centers are growing in capacity and numbers and so does the requirement for their interconnectivity or data center interconnectivity (aka DCI). These days metro DCI infrastructure designers are engaged in a vigorous debate about direct detection and coherent detection – the two widely used modulation formats. Let us provide you with some crucial information on this subject!

It is an obvious thing that optical fiber interconnections cannot be achieved without optical transceivers. In a medium to large scale data center, several hundred to thousands of optical modules are often deployed. Optical modules acquisition price and operating costs account for a big share of data center erection and operating expenditures. Thus, making the right decisions and choosing the correct transceivers at the planning and deployment phase of any data center is very important. The following are a few tips who are considering different optical transceiver options.

We all know that different types of optical fiber cables are used for communication and connectivity between devices like routers, switches, transceivers, etc.
