Keysight Technologies, 800 Gigabit Ethernet Ecosystem Collaborate To Reveal Physical Design Validation Solution

Keysight Technologies Inc KEYS announced a physical design validation solution demonstration featuring high-speed Ethernet partners in the quad small form-factor pluggable double-density (QSFP-DD800) ecosystem.
The QSFP-DD Multisource Agreement (MSA) group announced a hardware revision 6.0 to introduce the QSFP-DD800 specification and Common Management interface Specification (CMIS) 5.0 in May 2021 to meet the power and performance demands for high-speed network solutions.
The multi-company demonstration is the first to showcase this form factor running full line rate Ethernet speeds based on the IEEE 802.3ck 100G Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-level (PAM4) electrical lanes.
The demonstration also includes partners in the DD800 ecosystem, including host board connectors from Amphenol Corp APH and link partners from Cisco Systems Inc CSCO.
Price action: KEYS shares traded higher by 1.58% at $151.25 on the last check Thursday.
