TL;DR Data center optics selection should start with distance and fiber type, not speed alone. Reach classes such as SR, LR, DR, and FR are designed around specific fiber assumptions and loss budgets. In AI fabrics running 400G and 800G links, mismatching reach and fiber type compresses margin and creates intermittent issues. Architects reduce risk …
