Embodiments are disclosed for facilitating an end-to-end link channel with one or more lookup tables for equalization. An example system includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The first transceiver includes a clock data recovery (CDR) circuit configured to receive communication data from a switch and to manage a lookup table associated with equalization of the communication data. The first transceiver also includes a first driver circuit communicatively coupled to the CDR circuit and configured to generate an electrical signal associated with the communication data. The second transceiver includes a second driver circuit, communicatively coupled to the first transceiver, that is configured to receive the electrical signal from the first transceiver and to modulate a laser source based on the electrical signal to generate an optical signal via the laser source.
