Credo: ZeroFlap Optical Transceivers

Credo ZeroFlap (ZF) optical transceivers are a laser-based optical connectivity family that delivers active electrical cable (AEC)-class network reliability. Supporting 400G, 800G, and 1.6T network speeds, ZF optical transceivers are designed to enable better management and mitigation of optical link flaps through system hardening, advanced telemetry, and remote management. Using Credo PILOT (Predictive Integrity, Link Optimization, and Telemetry) diagnostics, ZF optical transceivers provide a system approach to collecting, processing, and acting on telemetry before a link flap occurs. ZeroFlap optical transceivers deliver enhanced link telemetry and autonomous link health monitoring, providing comprehensive network visibility and early warning of potential issues. The non-volatile event log embedded in the transceiver is a critical resource for accurately tracing historical network events, enabling efficient cluster maintenance. As part of its commitment to standardization, Credo will contribute the ZF optical specification to a new Optics Reliability Workstream that Credo and Oracle will chair within the Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation.
