Over the years, Cisco has become a top provider of software and solutions and a dominant player in the highly competitive 25/50/100Gb space. 400G Ethernet is about to be deployed at scale, leading to the arrival of the 400G era.Ĭisco foresaw the need for the Internet and its infrastructure at a very early stage, and as a result, has put a stake in the ground that no other company has been able to eclipse. In addition, according to GLOBE NEWSWIRE, the global 400G transceiver market is expected to be at $22.6 billion in 2023. They forecast that 400G shipments will exceed 15 million ports by 2023, and 400G will be widely deployed in all of the largest core networks in the world. Dell’Oro group indicates “the ecosystem of 400G technologies, from silicon to optics, is ramping.” Starting in 2021, large-scale deployments will contribute meaningful market. Due to the good development prospects of 400G market, many IT infrastructure providers are scrambling to layout and join the 400G market competition, launching a variety of 400G products. 400G provides the ideal solution for operators to meet high-capacity network requirements, reduce operational costs, and achieve sustainability goals. Many organizations and enterprises, especially hyperscale data centers and cloud operators, are aggressively adopting next-generation 400G network infrastructure to help address workloads.
Indeed, the average annual growth rate of network traffic remains at a high level of 26%.įacing the rapid growth of network traffic, 100GE/200GE ports are unable to meet the demand for network connectivity from a large number of customers. According to an IEEE report, they forecast that “device connections will grow from 18 billion in 2017 to 28.5 billion devices by 2022.” And the number of internet users will soar “from 3.4 billion in 2017 to 4.8 billion in 2022.” Hence, network traffic is exploding. The emergence of new services, such as 4K VR, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, raises connected devices and internet users. This article will take you through 400G Ethernet market trend and some global 400G equipment vendors. Many organizations join the ranks of 400G equipment vendors early, and are already reaping the benefits. Therefore, the 400G market is currently growing rapidly.
These require higher network bandwidth, up to 400G or higher. It has an inbuilt power supply module, therefore, an external power adapter is not needed. It has protection for Reverse polarity, ESD, EFT and Surge.New data-intensive applications have led to a dramatic increase in network traffic, raising the demand for higher processing speeds, lower latency, and greater storage capacity. The product can be mounted directly on a wall, panel, or DIN Rail, without the need for additional brackets.
It features auto-negotiation for half or full-duplex and 10Mbps or 100Mbps data rates. This converter not only supports store and forward mode, but it also supports modified cut through mode and pure converter mode for low latency data forwarding. It can transmit packet(s) up to 1600 bytes to meet the requirement of extra long packets. It comes with ST/SC connectors for fiber optic links and can extend the 10 / 100Mbps Ethernet distance to 2km for multi-mode and 20 to 120km for single-mode. The converter doesn’t use DIP switch, jumper settings, or software drivers, making the unit highly reliable and a truly plug-and-play device. It supports either multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic and MDI (straight-through) and MDIX (crossover) cables. SANDS Ethernet to Fiber Optic Converter is a rugged, industrial-grade 10/100M Ethernet to fiber optic media converter, which provides one channel for media conversion between 10/100BaseTX and 100BaseFX.
