  • How much can enabling FEC improve the optical module performance

    How much can enabling FEC improve the optical module performance

    FEC improves performance by reducing errors without requiring costly upgrades, extending transmission distances (up to 30-40% more on 100G links with SD-FEC), and cutting down on retransmissions, saving bandwidth. That method is FEC, which is used in nearly every optical transport network to at least some degree. What is FEC? FEC is a technique used to detect and correct a certain number of errors in a bitstream by appending redundant bits and error-checking code to the message block before transmission. The. FEC requirements for 800GbE/1. 6TbE optics (200G per lane) are elaborated in terms of performance, latency and power. By embedding redundancy within the transmitted data, FEC improves network efficiency and reduces latency, as retransmissions are minimized. The diagram below provides a simplified overview. • Goal of this presentation is to show the FECi performance data measured on the actual 4x200G-PAM4 Optical Modules for field deployment and the benefit of FECi- providing additional Link budget margin required by the Network operators for their operational efficiency @ scale.
