Half of the Data Centers will use the 25GbE/100GbE Switch by 2021
2017-10-05
In the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, data center Ethernet switches are rapidly transitioning to 25GbE, 100GbE devices. By 2021, more than 50% of Ethernet switches will use the above two standard switches, and sales revenue will exceed $15 billion, according to a new report from research institute Crehan.
After several years of development, the current deployment of 25GbE and 100GbE data center switches has gained exponential growth, with port shipments reaching hundreds of thousands of per quarter. The port shipments of 25GbE and 100GbE will be higher if there is no supply limit for uplink and fiber optical transceivers connecting these switches.
According to the data, the popularity of 25GbE and 100GbE switches is attributable to a number of factors, including minimal or no premium cost structure compared to 10G and 40G Ethernet switches, growth in each channel bandwidth, compatibility with existing data center fiber optic cables, and potential requirements for large-scale cloud providers.
With the popularity of 25GbE and 100GbE switches, SFP+-based 10GbE and QSFP-based 40GbE data center switch shipments will decline after 2017. However, Crehan Research predicts that for the next period, 10GBASE-T data center switches are still expected to maintain a strong growth momentum.

012019-10With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

012019-101. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

012019-10AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.
