ProLabs will exhibit for the first time at SC24 in Atlanta, Georgia, November 18-21, and showcase a full line of AI transceivers and cables to empower operators to make crucial network enhancements.

“As the global leader in compatible optics, we are committed to providing optical solutions that come at a fraction of the cost of Network Equipment Manufacturers (NEMs),” said ProLabs Vice President, Product Line Management, Transceiver Products, Ray Hagen. “These transceivers represent over a decade’s worth of work in developing AI-enhancing solutions for the optical market. This makes ProLabs the trusted and proven source for companies looking to utilise the latest AI tools and developments.”

Generative AI is revolutionizing network infrastructure, driving resource-intensive workloads and extensive amounts of power to process data in real time. As a result, optical transceivers have become crucial in delivering the high-speed, high-bandwidth connectivity required to support AI systems. The use of third-party, compatible transceivers from ProLabs means operators can use solutions that are typically 70% cheaper than those offered by the leading NEMs.

The launch includes the 800G OSFP 2xSR4 and 800G OSFP 2xDR4, the first major third-party 800G optics designed to meet the needs of AI-enhanced networks. Alongside the 800G solutions, SC24 will see the introduction of the 400G QSFP112 SR4 and 400G QSFP112 DR4 transceivers, which provide operators with high performance modules for short-length applications. Also available will be ProLabs’ innovative 400G OSFP-RHS SR4 and DR4 transceivers, as well as TAA solutions.

All ProLabs transceivers have been designed for seamless integration with all major NEM platforms, including Nvidia and Mellanox, having been extensively tested and validated to ensure compatibility.

“Our foundation is based on quality components and 100% performance and compatibility testing that meets or exceeds the industry standard,” continued Hagen. “These AI transceivers have been run through a stringent testing, validation and coding process to ensure accountability and quality assurance. Our customers can rest assured that they have the best solution for empowering AI deployments within their networks.”

Customers also benefit from round-the-clock support and teams of localized field engineers and consultants should any issues arise. The commitment to quality service extends to availability, with a guarantee to deliver out-of-stock products within two weeks of an order being placed.
