Lumentum’s 1.6T Ramp Faces Cisco and NVIDIA Competition
Lumentum begins shipping 1.6T transceivers in Q4 FY2026, moving cloud transceiver demand beyond 800G as adoption accelerates through 2027 and drives more CW laser mix. Cisco counters with Acacia optics and Silicon One AI networking, with Acacia generating over $1B in FY Q4 orders and optics about 40% of $4B hyperscale AI infrastructure orders. NVIDIA’s data center networking revenue nearly tripled to $15B.
