Each module integrates eight electrical and eight optical channels operating at 212. 5 Gbps PAM4 per lane, achieving a total bandwidth of 1. 6T optical modules are, the major module types involved, and the application scenarios driving adoption. The rise of massive GPU clusters, high-performance computing environments, and geographically distributed. Over the next 1–2 years, 1. Despite strong demand, the optical communication supply chain still faces constraints, particularly in: These challenges are accelerating vertical integration. With the rapid rise of large AI models and hyperscale data centers, 1. 6T networking is becoming a reality as AI clusters and data centers continue to scale.
