Marvell Technology announced new data-center connectivity chips, including the industry’s first 1.6T ZR/ZR+ pluggable module and 2-nanometer coherent DSPs designed for AI data center networks.
The new products,COLORZ 1600 powered by the Electra 2nm DSP and the Libra 2nm 800G DSP, add integrated MACsec security and enable high bandwidth optical connections between data centers over distances ranging from campus networks to regional links. The technology is designed to support the rapid growth of distributed AI workloads requiring faster and more secure inter-data-center connectivity.
The components are expected to begin sampling to customers in the second half of 2026 as demand for high capacity AI and cloud infrastructure continues to rise.
