EDGE8® Port Breakout Module

EDGE8® Port Breakout Module

Parallel optics is the answer to escalating demands on data center networks, offering heightened density, safety, signal quality, and cost savings. Leveraging EDGE8® Port Breakout Modules allows the seamless operation of large-scale spine-and-leaf networks such as 40/100G parallel optics transceivers as four 10/25G links, but also paves the way for effortless scalability to 400G and beyond. With operational efficiencies like reduced power and cooling needs, it's a win-win. Emphasizing future-proofing through the transition to native 40G or 100G networks makes it an advantageous solution for networking and economics alike.

Corning's EDGE™ Mesh Modules offer an optimal solution for the implementation of spine and leaf network architecture in data center networks. They facilitate the distribution of a single high-density port (spine switch) across multiple devices (leaf switches). These modules play a crucial role in transitioning to large-scale networks and maximize the utilization of your data center's space.

Benefits of Port Breakout Application(s):

Sustainable Savings
Using 40G ports in 40x10G breakout mode for multimode applications can save up to 85% in costs compared to discrete 10G ports.
Network Security
No conversion modules or harnesses are needed, avoiding extra connector pairs that could impact insertion loss.
