Xilinx Booth demonstrations

4x 100G OTN Transponder on a single Virtex-7 FPGA

• This demonstration showcases the Xilinx 400G capacity OTN one-chip solution and features 13.1 Gbps (GTH) transceivers that provide robust performance at line rates that exceed ASSP and competitive offerings. This compact, cost-effective OTN solution incorporates fully-featured 4x 100G Transponder  SmartCORE IPs, enabling customers to build smarter solutions that address their market needs for 100G and 400G+ line cards.

High Density 100G Line Card Direct Connection to Finisar CFP2 Optical Modules

• Xilinx will demonstrate interoperability between its Virtex-7 HT FPGA integrating up to 16x  28 Gbps (GTZ) transceivers and a Finisar CFP2 optical module running at 25.7 Gbps.  This demonstration illustrates 2X the 100G port density over the current CFP optical module and showcases real-world integration of 100G networking systems which result in reduced footprint, power and cost.
