The new class of extended reach SFP56-DD products are designed with several industry leading performance and features, including:

• Industry first small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver supporting single-lambda 100G over extended reach, enabling new generation of high port density switch and routers with 100G connectivity beyond 10km.
• Industry high sensitivity Ge/Si APD receiver based on SiFotonics proprietary silicon photonics platform supporting single-lambda 100G over 40km, in full compliant with 100G-ER1-40 specification defined by 100G Lambda MSA, backed by over 45 industry leading companies
• State-of-the-art DSP and optimized design supporting multi-rate applications, including timing sensitive OTN applications
• 8x100G-ER1-nWDM option supporting O-band passive WDM applications, and fully inter-operable with SiFotonics industry leading 8x100G-ER1-nWDM QSFP28 product family , enabling 800G total bandwidth capacity over single pair of fiber, or 400G over single fiber, with pay as you grow economics with low cost passive WDM filters.
• The 8 wavelengths supported by 8x100G-ER1-nWDM are defined to inter-operate with up and coming 400G-ER4 and 800G-ER8 standards so a break-out application between 100G and 400G, or 800G are supported.
• Wide range of operation temperature support from -40 to 85C, enabling outside plant applications, extending 100G connectivity to 5G front haul and broadband access applications.
• The newly available SFP56-DD product family also include 100G long-reach variant supporting 10km applications, and compliant with IEEE 100G-LR1 standard, with same wide temperature range support.
