WL5n 100G–400G Universal QSFP-DD applications
Including a full range of transmission modes, WL5n Universal
QSFP-DD enables metro-regional transport, including over
colorless ROADM, and reliable, sustainable deployment for
single-span DCI and 100G/200G access/metro networks.
WL5n 100G–400G Universal QSFP-DD coherent pluggables
are supported across a range of Ciena’s optical and routing and
switching platforms, and are also supported on select third-
party host platforms. Integrated into host platforms for DWDM
transmission, the WL5n Universal QSFP-DD can support
various configurations, including use as a highly integrated
muxponder for up to 4 x 100GbE clients for both DCI and
high-capacity edge/access applications due to integrated
100 Gb/s client framer capabilities.
With WL5n pluggables in Ciena systems, service providers
benefit from the power, footprint, and granular capacity
benefits associated with pluggables, as well as the photonic
layer integration and link-budget guarantees needed to
accelerate and optimize network deployments.
