Smartoptics Launches the Dual DCP-802 Transponder for Scalable 800G Networking Smartoptics announced the launch of the new DCP-802 transponder. The dual 400G/800G transponder is designed to maximize the potential of 800ZR technology for flexible and cost-efficient network scaling. The DCP-802 transpond enables 800G networking in a compact form factor, significantly reducing power consumption and latency. It supports 1:1 transponder mode for direct conversion to DWDM. With support for 800G break, a single connection can be split into two 400G links (2x400G) or eight 100G links (8x100G) to maximize fiber utilization. This optimizes cost per bit for communication service providers, enterprises and internet exchanges. The DCP-802 is designed for three use cases: 1:1 transponder modes: Convert 800G, 400G or 100G gray signals to coherent DWDM. Get more out of switches and routers with 800G breakout: Extend the life of 100G/400G ports with increased capacity or break out 800G ports into multiple lower-rate links for broader compatibility. Enable signal hand-off with performance monitoring: Use the transponder's demarcation point to measure performance before handing off the signal to another system. The dual 400G/800G transponder features two client ports supporting a flexible range of QSFP-DD transceiver types. On the line side, it supports coherent DWDM 400G and 800G modulation formats, with optional Layer 1 encryption for easily securing data in transit. To optimize capacity and reach for specific network needs, the transponder supports programmable line rates from 100G to 800G in small increments. These flexible data rates are made possible with cutting-edge technologies such as dynamically adjusting modulation and constellation shaping. The DCP-802 are planned to be available for the first deliveries to the market in third quarter 2025. Tillkännagivande • Feb 16

New Flexible and Compact Roadm Strengthens Smartoptics' Offering for Larger Fiber Optic Networks Smartoptics announced the launch of a groundbreaking new ROADM, opening up the capability to build larger metro and regional networks. This expands the company's market opportunities. The ROADM, called DCP-R-34D-CS, only takes up 1 rack unit (RU) and supports disaggregated networking.
