1.6T & 800G OSFP

Photons are the future

The most efficient and reliable optical interconnect ever developed for hyperscale computing.

Alpha C1 linearly translates electrical signals to light at up to 1.6 Terabits per second. It delivers better power efficiency, lower latency, and higher reliability for AI workloads and power-constrained datacenters.

Powered by an advanced optical engine

Optimized for reliability, speed, power, and manufacturability

7+ YEARS AT MAX POWER

Greater reliability

Alpha C1’s optical engine utilizes the most reliable DFB laser ever developed for an optical transceiver, capable of higher powers and robust to high temperatures

Optimized packaging

More speed

Alpha C1 implements 8 lane 224 GHz PAM4 modulation and demodulation with fully optimized trace routing to the optical engine

Under 10 Watts at 1.6Tbps

Better efficiency

Alpha C1 requires a third the power utilization of other modules by eliminating retimer DSP silicon and running software defined link training algorithms on bare metal

Designed, manufactured, and tested by Mesh
