Jabil Inc.’s photonics business unit continues to drive the design and development of world-class optical communications products. Specifically, it made available, and customer tested its CFP2 DCO ECO Coherent Transceiver. This latest module, based on Nokia’s CSTAR200+ silicon photonics optical engine, is designed to deliver best-in-class optical performance while adhering to recent communications standards requirements. Demonstrations of this second-generation coherent optical module will take place at the Jabil Photonics booth (#116) during ECOC 2022.

Jabil Photonics is as a leading provider of customized design, manufacturing and test solutions for optical communications products. Against this background, it invests in advanced solutions and capabilities to address evolving network requirements and architectures. An extensive product line encompasses discrete optical components, integrated modules and complex, fiber-based boards supported by unique design, process and test engineering skills and services.

“We are pleased to integrate Nokia’s CSTAR-200+ optical engine as part of our complete coherent transceiver solution,” said KW Hoo, GM of Jabil Photonics. “Together, we can accelerate the pace of technology advancements while bringing industry-leading optical products to market faster on behalf of customers worldwide.”

End-to-End Capabilities Reduce Optical System Complexities

Jabil Photonics offers the coherent technologies and solutions required for a wide range of applications. Among them include 5G, metro networking and data-center interconnects.
