GIGALIGHT’s 1.6T OSFP224 HYBRID pluggable active optical cable（AOC） Series employ the company’s patented Hybrid architecture technology, which can be implemented using either VCSEL-based or silicon photonics-based designs. Unlike traditional full-DSP optical modules, the HYBRID design uses only half of the DSP channels, resulting in significantly reduced power consumption and latency.The HYBRID modules and active optical cables draw inspiration from industry-standard LPO/LRO design methodologies, but from a system-level signal alignment perspective, the HYBRID approach provides a more advanced design strategy. Conceptually, the HYBRID design can be expressed as: HYBRID = (LTO + LRO) / 2.
