Recently, GIGALIGHT proudly launched the industry’s cutting-edge 200G QSFP56 SR2 optical module. This module is built on 2×100G PAM4 modulation technology and is a carefully crafted interconnect solution designed to meet the stringent requirements of the next-generation data center for ultra-high speed, low latency, and high compatibility, setting a new benchmark for the industry.

Technological Leadership: Breaking Through the Boundaries of Rate and Energy Efficiency

As data centers accelerate their upgrade to 200G/400G architectures, traditional optical modules are facing severe challenges in terms of transmission rate, power consumption, and compatibility. GIGALIGHT’s 200G QSFP56 SR2 optical module achieves a significant performance leap through three major innovations.

High Rate and Low Power Consumption Combined

This optical module supports a transmission rate of up to 200Gbps (2×100G PAM4), fully meeting the demanding bandwidth requirements of scenarios such as AI/GPU clusters and cloud computing. At the same time, it adopts an advanced energy efficiency optimization design, reducing overall power consumption by 30% compared to traditional solutions, thus providing strong support for the construction of green and low-carbon data centers.

Broad Compatibility for Flexible Interconnection

GIGALIGHT’s 200G QSFP56 SR2 optical module successfully breaks the limitations imposed by differences in switch platforms and is compatible with a variety of mainstream interface standards, including 400G QSFP112 and 400G QSFP56-DD. In addition, it supports multiple AOC interconnection schemes, enabling seamless interconnection between heterogeneous devices and significantly reducing customers’ costs in network upgrade and transformation.

Industry Certification, Highlighting High-Reliability Design

GIGALIGHT’s 200G QSFP56 SR2 optical module has successfully passed multiple industry authoritative certifications and fully complies with QSFP56 MSA and IEEE 802.3 standards. When paired with OM4 multimode fiber, it can achieve a transmission distance of up to 100 meters (SR2), fully meeting the needs of short-distance interconnection within machine rooms.

Innovative Application Scenarios

Unique Application Scenario: Breakout of 400G QSFP112 AOC into 2×200G QSFP56 SR2

This innovative solution effectively breaks the limitations of device ports, enabling flexible interconnection from 400G to 200G and perfectly adapting to high-speed heterogeneous network architectures.

Typical Application Scenario: Breakout of 400G QSFP56-DD SR4 AOC into 2×200G QSFP56 SR2

This solution can meet the needs of efficient interconnection in different switch environments, providing strong support for the flexible deployment of data centers.

Extended Application Scenario: Breakout of 800G OSFP SR8 to 4×200G QSFP56 SR2

By breaking out one 800G OSFP SR8 port into four 200G QSFP56 SR2 ports, this solution greatly enhances network flexibility and assists modern data centers in achieving scalable and high-density deployments.
