Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for facilitating higher bandwidth communication in a data center using existing multi-mode fibers. A first transceiver within a first device transmits Ethernet traffic to a second device over first and second optical fibers and receives return optical signals over the same first and second optical devices. By varying the wavelengths between the transmitted and received optical signals, the same optical fibers can be used to both transmit and receive optical signals. A second transceiver within the same housing as the first transceiver performs the same function. In this fashion, one device can be coupled to four bidirectional optical fibers, each transmitting and receiving optical signals at 20 Gbps.

Abstract: A converter module is provided that is configured to provide data connectivity between at least two external devices, where the converter module comprises a pair of first connectors and up to eight second connectors. The pair of first connectors is configured to be plugged into and interfaced with ports on a first external device. The second connectors are configured to receive and interface with cables. The converter module also comprises a demultiplexing and multiplexing unit that is configured to split signals received via the pair of first connectors or combine signals received by plurality of second connectors. The pair of first connectors receive and couple signals at a first data rate, while the second connectors receive and couple signals at a second data rate. The first data rate may be four times the second data rate.
