Telecom revenue has hit the bottom as overwhelming 800GbE demand raises Datacom revenue and shipments.

This report tracks the component suppliers that enable the 400GbE+ Datacom Transceiver ecosystem. It includes an overview of the types of transceivers employed, the key components that are used in those transceivers, and which vendors supply those components.

Datacom revenues are recovering from the Q1 drop and are poised to explode along with 800GbE shipments in 2024. Telecom revenue continues to lag, as deployed bandwidth declined YoY for the first time this quarter.

Pluggable 400Gbps optics continues to drive Telecom bandwidth as operators migrate away from lower speeds. Datacom component shipment growth slowed this quarter, but revenue for Datacom is still growing faster than in any other optical segment.

It’s all about the supply chain again this quarter, but signs point to gains in the second half of the year. 400GbE datacenter optics and 400Gbps pluggable telecom optics are driving their respective segments.

This inaugural report commences Cignal AI’s complete coverage of Optical Components, including both revenue and detailed component shipments.
