What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Strong vendor momentum and credible 400G/lane silicon (EML + SiPh), but everything load-bearing (GA part, full interop, liquid-cooling facility model, ratified MSA spec) is still demo-stage as of OFC 2026 (March 2026).
Next
Track XPO MSA spec ratification and Coherent's first GA 3.2T/12.8T part with published power/lane and full interop data before any design dependency; watch OIF interop and the ramping multi-vendor field (Marvell, Eoptolink, Lightmatter).
