Passage EVK100
Exascale Connectivity for AI
Passage EVK100 represents a giant leap in photonic interconnect performance. Designed for the extreme demands of scale-up AI networks, it delivers massive bandwidth density and unprecedented energy efficiency.
Architecture
Optimized for High Spectral Density
Passage EVK100 uses a 16-wavelength 112G PAM4 DWDM architecture to maximize bandwidth within a compact optical footprint. The system supports two operating modes: 1.7 Tbps unidirectional (separate Tx/Rx fibers) or 3.4 Tbps bidirectional transmission on a single fiber using advanced circulators.
Designed for scale-up AI networks, the platform leverages high baud rates to maximize link efficiency. Performance estimates assume 5% wall-plug efficiency (WPE) for future Guide laser integration.
Link Architecture
1,600 Gbps per fiber strand enabled by a 16-channel DWDM architecture across the 1310 nm band.
