What Is Data Center Interconnect?

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 26, 2026

Data Center Interconnect (DCI) connects separate data centers using high-speed optical networks, enabling reliable, scalable data transmission for cloud, AI, and enterprise infrastructure.

How Does an Optical DSP Work?

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 25, 2026

An optical DSP processes high-speed signals through equalization, clock recovery, and signal correction, helping optical transceivers maintain reliable 400G, 800G, and 1.6T transmission.

What Is LRO

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 24, 2026

LRO (Linear-drive Receive Optics) uses a linear optical receiver architecture to reduce power and latency in high-speed optical modules, especially for 400G and 800G data center links.

Why Liquid Cooling AOC Requires Waterproof Fiber Jackets and Potting Compounds for AI Data Centers

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 23, 2026

Learn why Liquid Cooling Active Optical Cables (AOCs) require waterproof fiber jackets, UV-resistant materials, and high-reliability potting compounds.

What Is NPO?

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 22, 2026

NPO (Near-Packaged Optics) places optical engines close to the host ASIC on the PCB, shortening high-speed electrical paths and reducing signal loss for high-bandwidth networks.

What Is an AOC Cable?

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 21, 2026

AOC (Active Optical Cable) is a high-speed cable assembly that uses optical fiber and integrated transceivers to transmit data over longer distances than copper cables.

What Is Multimode Fiber?

By C-LIGHT Marketing 丨 Jul 20, 2026

Multimode fiber is an optical fiber designed to carry multiple light modes, commonly used for short-distance data center, enterprise, and high-speed network connections.
