Legrand announced that
MultiLane, Inc, has
independently verified that the
Infinium Quantum Fiber System increases
network performance-beyond IEEE's industry-standard fiber connectivity loss-to
provide greater network efficiency. In addition, Infinium Quantum was shown to
achieve significant Bit Error Rate (BER) improvement with a notable reduction
of Forward Error Correction (FEC) codewords. For more test information, please

"The Quantum Effect.
"For many years, the conventional wisdom held that any performance
level at or beneath the IEEE standard was deemed to be good enough," said Gene
Smith, Director of Product Management and Marketing, Legrand. "However, when it
comes to today's complex electronics and more advanced modulation schemes,
‘good enough' will not do. Thanks to MultiLane's foresight to conduct this test
we now have the verified data that clearly shows Infinium Quantum's dramatic
effects of optimizing optical headroom to increase the overall network
performance."
MultiLane has been helping transceiver vendors optimize their
products and pass standard specifications for nearly a decade. In a real-world
production environment, the Infinium Quantum fiber system was tested via the
MultiLane ML4054B 400G transceiver test
platform. The results verified that Legrand's solution, when compared to
standard fiber, realized a 3.6x BER improvement, 1.04dB total link loss
reduction, and a 1.77x decrease in FEC Corrections.
"As system integrators continue to navigate the challenge of
scaling network capacity and balancing cost, fiber selection can just as easily
be an inhibitor or enabler," said Kees Propstra, VP Marketing, MultiLane.
The Infinium Quantum system has proven to unlock more optical headroom
while future-proofing fiber investments."
Additionally, the 2021
Lightwave Innovation Reviews panel has given the
Infinium Quantum Fiber System a rating of 4.5 out
of 5. The high rating comes with a product distinction of being not only a
"superb" offering but also one that "provides groundbreaking and new technical
milestones," according to the rating system. Put the Infinium Quantum Fiber
