Source Photonics Announces New 100G ZR4 QSFP28 Transceiver for Data Center Interconnects and Routing Applications
7.12.2020 17:31:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Source Photonics, a leading vendor of optical connectivity products used in telecommunication systems and data communications networks, today announces the release of its new 100G ZR4 QSFP28 transceiver for 80km high-speed data center interconnects and routing applications. Leveraging the widely deployed 4 x 25G NRZ optics, 100G ZR4 QSFP28 is the latest addition to the company’s dominant 100G product lines among its leading 100/200/400G portfolio of single-mode transceivers for datacenter and routing applications.
Cloud traffic continues to drive data center growth and the industry requires cost-effective and high-bandwidth interoperable solutions. The Source Photonics 100G ZR4 QSFP28 is cost optimized and low power transceiver supporting 100G Ethernet for extended reach up to 80km transmission that provides point to point network connectivity solutions between data centers or central offices without the need to deploy either complicated, power hungry, and expensive coherent solution or legacy CFP/CFP2 interfaces. The 100G ZR4 QSFP28 alleviates the fiber shortage bottlenecks and enables hyperscale cloud operators to scale their network.
The transceiver is in QSFP28 form factor, the smallest for 100G 80km solution. It is fully compliant with the industry standard QSFP28 and related MSA described in the latest SFF-8665/8636 and digital diagnostic functions are available through an I2C interface. It also complies with IEEE 802.3 100GBASE-ZR4 related specifications. In addition, the module supports standard KR4 FEC (Forward Error Correction) baud rates which will help receive side detect and correct bit errors and improve the overall quality of the link. The 100G ZR4 QSFP28 transceiver is capable to operate over up to 80km point-to-point link without the need for optical amplification and dispersion compensation.
Source Photonics will showcase a product demonstration of the 100G ZR4 QSFP28 transceiver for 80km optical transmission in its virtual booth, in addition to live booth activities, and informative video content during the ECOC 2020 Virtual Exhibition on December 7 to 9.
Source Photonics is currently sampling its 100G ZR4 QSFP28 product, in addition to its latest 100G ER4 and 400G ER8 transceivers. Source Photonics is in full production of its other products for data center and routing applications such as 100G LR4/ER4 Lite, 100G DR1/FR1/LR1, and 400G DR4/FR4/LR4/LR8 transceivers.

One Biosciences Receives BOOST Funding From Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster to Advance the First Single-Cell Assay Approach for ADC Therapies22.6.2026 23:15:00 EEST | Press release
One Biosciences, a techbio company pioneering clinical-grade single-cell tumor profiling, today announced financial support via a Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster (PSCC) BOOST grant to develop the first single-cell assay for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) therapies in oncology. The rapid growth of ADCs is driving demand for more sophisticated biomarker strategies. By capturing tumor complexity at cellular resolution, single-cell profiling has the potential to enhance patient selection and support the development of next-generation ADCs. Ultimately, it will help match the right patients to the right therapies, maximizing therapeutic benefit. The PSCC BOOST-funded project seeks to bring a new level of precision to ADC development. It will be conducted in collaboration with Adcytherix, a clinical-stage biotech company developing differentiated ADCs for cancers with high unmet medical need. The collaboration will combine Adcytherix’s expertise in ADC development with One Biosciences’ AI-powered
