Abstract:
An optical transceiver includes electrical inputs that each correspond to a selected port of a number of network ports and a selected network lane of the selected port. The optical transceiver includes optical transmitters organized in groups to optically transmit data received at the inputs over a plurality of optical transmission fibers to which the groups correspond. The optical transceiver includes multiplexers corresponding to the transmission fibers. Each multiplexer is to wave-division multiplex the data transmitted by the transmitters within the group corresponding to the transmission fiber to which the multiplexer corresponds. The optical transceiver includes hardware logic to differently map the inputs to the transmitters according to a selected mode of a number of switchable modes corresponding to different data transmission bandwidths.
