We fabricated a 4-core single mode multicore fiber (SM-MCF) with a standard 125 μm glass cladding. We demonstrated 4×100Gbps parallel transmission using a 400GBASE-DR4 transceiver through four cores simultaneously and 400GBASE-FR4/LR4 transmission through individual core indicating the feasibility of supporting 1.6 Tbps ethernet signals for datacom applications.
