Huawei has innovatively introduced the all-optical cross-connect (OXC) technology to data center networks (DCNs) and launched the industry-leading DC optical switch — Huawei OptiXtrans DC808 — to build a next-generation optical-electrical hybrid computing DCN for the AI era. CloudEngine S5736-S Series Switches are next generation standard all-optical GE switches, with 48 downlink optical ports and four 10 GE uplink ports. As we keep creating and exchanging more data, #Huawei 's Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) network switch handles the load sustainably. Find out more in the latest Huawei: #TheHeartofInnovation: Recent techniques related to the optical switching, and main challenges limiting the practical deployments of optical switches in data. Backbone connectivity capacity can be improved in three directions: improving single-channel rates, broadening frequency bands, and evolving towards space-division multiplexing (SDM) systems. Improving single-channel rates is a major method of increasing backbone capacity.
