Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 5
Overcoming the next hurdle to get to 800G pluggable optics, a conversation with Ray Nering, part 1 of 4.
What are the industry’s technical experts in pluggable optics thinking about today? What boundaries are the smartest minds are pushing to make the next generation of high-speed optics? In Episode 5, we start a new conversation with my esteemed colleague, Mark Nowell, Cisco Fellow. We begin with his own background, and then explore a brief history of standards in pluggable optics.
– Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager
