Drut's Photonic fabric is a collection of optics, single-mode fiber, and an all-optical, ultra-low latency active switch (PXC). To make ordering and configuration easier, we bundled these three components around a fixed fabric size. For very large designs or designs requiring outsized cable lengths, we will provide a customized quote.  

At the heart of Drut’s Photonic fabric is an active, ultra low-latency all optical switch. This switch starts with 32x32 ports and scales to 384x384. A large radix scale fabric can be built by using multiple PXCs. Each PXC has exceptionally low optical loss, compact size, and low power requirements 

To make the building of photonic fabric easier, Drut provides the single mode cabling and optics with each order. Large designs will require some level of custom engineering work, but most customer designs can be satisfied with standard 3-5-7M cables and choice of NxQSFP28 optics from 25G to 100G. All of this is provided in the form of a Drut Photonic Fabric Kit.
