Summary
The next evolution of Ethernet is underway, as the development of 1.6 Terabit Ethernet is underway. Join us as the leaders of the IEEE P802.3dj Task Force provides the latest update on the efforts to define the electrical and optical technologies that will enable Ethernet’s latest evolution to 1.6 TbE.
In this webinar we’ll address:
- An overview of the IEEE P802.3dj project and its development of solutions targeting 200 GbE, 400 GbE, 800 GbE, and 1.6 TbE.
- The flexibility of the IEEE P802.3dj architecture and the multiple forward error correction (FEC) schemes employed to that enable the different physical layers being developed.
- The development of the chip-to-chip (C2C) and chip-to-module (C2M) electrical interfaces that will be the basic building blocks of future Ethernet systems targeting 200 GbE, 400 GbE, 800 GbE, and 1.6 TbE.
- The development of the optical solutions targeting 500m to 40km of single-mode fiber (SMF).
- The development of solutions targeting copper backplane and twin-axial cable solutions
