This modular 1U equipment supports high-capacity (400G) transport over one wavelength by adding any combination of 10/25/100 GbE, 16/32G FC and OTU2/2e/4 services in a coherent 400G uplink.
The new muxponder occupies minimal rack space and reduces power consumption per transmitted bit. It offers high levels of security with Layer-1 GCM-AES-256 optical encryption using elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
“The PL-4000M is based on the latest standard technologies of coherent 400G modules in CFP2 and QSFPDD formats,” highlights Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight Networks. “This provides added value to service providers and enterprise networks when building their next-generation networks or expanding their capacity.”.
This model offers complete demarcation between the service and the OTN/DWDM uplink and ensures interoperability with third-party switches and routers. The new product provides visibility and performance monitoring of both the OTN and service interfaces.
The system uses technology based on globally adopted standards, ensuring a long lifespan, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO), and accelerating the return on investment. All optical modules are front-panel replaceable for simplified maintenance. The PL-4000M supports redundant AC/DC power supplies and fans.
