This product address the very short reach application which is very central with data centers, enabled by cutting-edge VCSEL technology that is not yet widely available across the industry. Judge's Comment.

This line of 25G active optics made with the Coolbit optical engine is designed to provide 60% power savings compared to existing solutions, TE says. For example, the QSFP28 transceiver and active optical cable assembly perform at less than 1.5 W per transceiver.
