Industry underestimating 25 Gigabit parallel optics challenge
Ten Gigabit-based parallel optics is set to dominate the marketplace for several years to come. So claims datacom module specialist, Avago Technologies.
"One customer told us it has to keep the interface speed below 20Gbps due to the cost of the SerDes"

"People are underestimating what is going to be involved in doing 25 Gigabit [channels]," says Sharon Hall, product line manager for embedded optics at Avago Technologies. "Ten Gigabit is going to last quite a bit longer because of the price point it can provide."
