A: Host Interface

The module support for wide applications with Host interfaces: CAUI-4 and 100GAUI-2. The Host

interface conform to existing protocol standards and operate over standard physical layer specifications. The

termination, mapping and/or aggregation of this signal is into an internal frame structure. The frame structure is

then adapted to the FEC engine and DSP framed for transmission over the coherent media Interface. The Host

interface signaling conform to existing protocol and electrical standards as defined by IEEE 802.3TM-2018.

B: Media Interface

The media interface utilizes DP-QPSK modulation, polarization diversity coherent detection, and

advanced electronic link equalization with chromatic dispersion and differential group delay compensation.

The module terminates the host interface signal(s) then maps and/or aggregates them into an internal frame

structure. The frame structure is then adapted to the FEC engine and DSP framed for transmission over the

coherent Media interface.
