Save on Power, Space, and Costs with Parallel Optics

Save on Power, Space, and Costs with Parallel Optics

Parallel optics address growing data center demands by providing heightened density, safety, signal quality, and cost savings. Using EDGE8® port breakout modules enables seamless operation of large-scale spine-and-leaf networks, supporting operations of 40G or 100G transceivers as four 10G or 25G links, and facilitates effortless scalability to 400G and beyond.

With benefits like reduced power and cooling needs, it's a win-win. Future-proofing through the transition to native 40G or 100G networks makes this solution advantageous for both networking and economics.

Benefits of Port Breakout Applications in Your Data Center​
Sustainable Cost Savings
Using 40G ports in 40x10G breakout mode for multimode applications can save up to 85% in costs compared to discrete 10G ports.
Quality for Network Performance
No conversion modules or harnesses are needed, avoiding extra connector pairs that could impact insertion loss.
