SerDes lane length is directly proportional to power consumption, as longer links require more energy and processing power from the digital signal processor (DSP) to maintain signal integrity over distance. Reducing the electrical SerDes lane count or length, therefore, reduces. With the growing global deployment of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks driven by the demand for ensuring high-capacity broadband services, mobile network operators (MNOs) face challenges of excessive energy consumption (EC) of wired optical access networks (OANs). This paper presents a. Data centers consumed ~1. 5 percent of the world's electricity in 2024 (415 terawatt-hours (TWh), which is set to more than double, to ~945 TWh by 2030. 2 While coherent pluggables are optimized for metro, regional and long-haul distances, intra-data center connectivity, typically under 500 meters. By comparison, Micro LED co-packaged optics (CPOs) offer significantly lower energy consumption per bit of data transmission. The focus of this paper is ultra low loss splicing for telecommunications product assembly, with typical loss of <0. 05 dB per splice for standard. Fiber optic splicing ensures that signals can travel across long distances without degradation, making it an essential technique for both new installations and network maintenance.
