This article discusses the challenges and uncertainties faced by vendors in the development of 800G optics for large-scale data centers. The demand for higher-speed transmission technologies is increasing rapidly due to the growing dominance of cloud services, IoT devices, and AI/ML workloads. However, the lack of mature standards and competing standards in development pose significant problems for vendors. Questions regarding the resolution of standards, interoperability of vendor devices, and potential issues in electrical performance need to be addressed. Vendors are conducting exhaustive testing and validation to navigate these challenges and deliver reliable 800G solutions. [Extracted from the article]
