The Acacia AC1200 1.2T Coherent Module is powered by the company’s Pico digital signal processor (DSP) ASIC. Utilizing two wavelengths, with up to 600-Gbps capacity each, it supports transmission speeds of up to 1.2 Tbps. The AC1200 supports multiple network applications, including cloud/data center interconnect, metro, long-haul, and submarine. 3D Shaping enables fine-tune adjustment of the line-side modulation characteristics, which helps network operators optimize capacity and reach for their particular network or link.
Judge’s comment: “A truly innovative coherent optical transponder product combining multiple industry firsts while offering unprecedented equipment density.”
