Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- 800G interop is mature and LPO's ~30% (up to ~3x at module level) power saving is attractive, but at 1.6T the 200G/lane electrical path, >30W thermals forcing LRO, intra-rack-only reach, and unresolved half-linear trade-offs mean 1.6T LPO is early-deployment (sub-1M units in 2025), not volume-ready, at feed date.
- Next
- Adopt 800G (LPO-capable, interop proven) now where needed; for 1.6T, wait for IEEE 802.3dj ratification and multivendor 1.6T plugfest results before committing, and scope LPO to short-reach intra-rack links only — use LRO/retimed for anything longer.
