Port breakout deployments have become a popular networking tool and are driving the large industry demand for parallel optics transceivers. Today, port breakout is commonly used to operate 40/100 Gbps (40/100G) parallel optics transceivers as four 10/25 Gbps (10/25G) links. Breaking out parallel ports is beneficial for multiple applications, such as building large scale spine-and-leaf networks and enabling today’s high-density 10/25G networks.

If you’ve invested tens of millions of dollars building a reliable, robust, and high-performance network system, you need to now ask yourself some serious questions: What will you do in order to ensure higher performance, improved reliability, and better utilization of your network?
