FS Launches 800G LPO Module: A Power Efficiency and Latency Optimized Solution for AI/HPC Data Centers

NEW CASTLE, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FS, a trusted provider of ICT products and solutions, has launched its cutting-edge 800G Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) module. Designed for AI/ML applications, this advanced 800G DR8 OSFP finned top LPO module enables high-speed data transmission with ultra-low power consumption, reduced latency, and superior cost efficiency. This innovative LPO solution empowers enterprises to optimize the critical balance between computing performance and data center energy efficiency, enabling sustainable digital transformation in the data-driven era of computing.

The AI race is driving tech giants to deploy massive GPU clusters, pushing data center infrastructure to unprecedented densities. While traditional DSP-based optical modules increase bandwidth for AI/HPC networks, they simultaneously face escalating power consumption and latency challenges. In response, LPO modules present a transformative solution by eliminating DSP chips, delivering unprecedented efficiency improvements for AI and HPC data centers.

FS 800G LPO Module: Designed for Performance, Built for the Future

As a frontrunner, FS’s 800G LPO module offers remarkable advantages for next-generation AI infrastructure:

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

The FS 800G LPO DR8 module operates with a maximum power consumption of just 8.5W—approximately 50% lower than 800G DSP-based modules. This reduction translates to lower thermal loads, decreasing the cooling demands on switches and servers while delivering additional cost savings. The FS 800G LPO transceiver emerges as a powerful solution for data centers aiming to minimize their energy footprint and reduce operational costs.

Significantly Reduced Latency

By eliminating DSP processing, the FS 800G LPO module reduces end-to-end data transmission latency significantly than traditional optical modules. This dramatic improvement is particularly valuable for latency-sensitive applications, such as real-time AI training and supercomputing.

Lower Total Cost

The LPO solution replaces DSP chips with Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) and driver chips with high linearity and EQ capabilities. While this architectural shift may slightly increase component costs, the LPO system delivers lower total cost, accelerating ROI for large-scale deployments.

Proven Reliability

The FS 800G LPO module has undergone rigorous testing, including traffic tests, bit error rate (BER) tests, and optical spectrum evaluation, confirming exceptional performance stability and transmission reliability. Field deployment validation with FS LPO switches confirmed the module's error-free operation under real-world workload conditions.

"FS is committed to driving next-generation optical innovation," said Jon Zheng, FS's senior technical director. "The 800G LPO module reflects our dedication to delivering high-performance, energy-efficient, and reliable connectivity solutions for global clients, empowering them to secure competitive advantages in modern data center deployments."

In the era of HPC and AI, the 800G LPO module stands out with its exceptional power efficiency, ultra-low latency, and cost-effectiveness—providing a critical solution for current AI/ML clusters while setting a sustainable path for high-speed interconnect technology. With top-tier performance and proven reliability, the FS 800G LPO module is poised to drive the next generation of connectivity solutions.
