Pluggable optical modules are a huge success factor in modern networking equipment. An end user can buy a network element, such as a router or switch, and provision ports in a pay-as-you-grow manner. They can plug optical modules into the ports and chose the reach (from a few meters with DAC copper through to 100’s […]

The ONT family has established itself as the reference for module development and validation. This pedigree continues with our ONT-800 family covering both QSFP-DD and CFP2 pluggable digital coherent optics (DCO). Developing and validation of DCO has many new challenges and having a stable test and development environment is key to reliable product validation and […]

With the move to pluggable coherent optical modules for the first time since 10G, we see client and line side considerations coming together. The most obvious example of this is optical signal to noise (OSNR) and related measurements. For any modules with the potential for use in an amplified system, OSNR becomes the fundamental figure […]
