FiberEdge® and DirectEdge™ Powering the Future of Optical Network Connectivity

High-Performance, Power-Efficient Optical Solutions for Next-Generation AI Infrastructure

In today's high-performance computing landscape, driving ever higher Gbps with minimal latency at the most efficient power envelope (measured in pico-joules/bit) has become the critical bottleneck for AI data centers. Semtech's FiberEdge and DirectEdge technologies delivers breakthrough performance, offering a comprehensive portfolio engineered for tomorrow's bandwidth demands. 

The Semtech Advantage: Exceptional Performance 

Our innovative optical components are designed to maximize performance while minimizing power consumption: 

  • FiberEdge: Industry leading 100G/channel and 200G/channel Physical Media Dependent (PMD) portfolio to drive 800G and 1.6T optical networks 

  • DirectEdge: PMD portfolio enabling Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) with up to 40% lower power consumption than traditional DSP-based modules — built on our industry-leading FiberEdge performance foundation. 

Addressing the industry shift toward higher bandwidth density, Semtech's 200G per channel FiberEdge and DirectEdge PMDs deliver exceptional performance to enable future 800G and 1.6T modules while meeting critical power efficiency and space constraints. Semtech is also pioneering 400G per channel technology to enable next-generation 3.2T modules.
