100G Lambda MSA releases 400GbE specification for 10 km of single-mode fiber

The 100G Lambda Multisource Agreement Group has announced the release of a 400 Gigabit Ethernet specification up to 10 km based on 100 Gb/s per wavelength PAM4 optical technology.

Building on the success of its previously published and broadly adopted specifications, the MSA members developed the 400GbE specification to fully address market requirements for 2 km to 10 km reaches over duplex single-mode for both 100GbE and 400GbE. The MSA believes that the 10 km reach specification will be fully interoperable with the 6 km version being developed by another industry standards group.

"The 100G Lambda MSA members were able to, again, quickly identify the market requirements and build on their earlier work to extend it to meet the market need for a full 10 km specification at 400G.".

"The MSA received feedback from the industry of a strong need for a 400GbE 10 km specification to be available and the MSA has worked hard to provide specifications to enable interoperable products to meet this demand," said Mark Nowell, 100G Lambda MSA co-chair.

The 100G Lambda MSA Group is going to continue its work by next addressing extended reach specifications beyond 10 km.
