600G | 400G/2x300G Muxponder/ADM

PacketLight's PL-4000M is a high capacity transport platform which aggregates a flexible mix of services into two 200/300/400G DWDM uplinks.

The PL-4000M is a cost-effective solution for rolling out multirate 10/25/100GbE, 16G/32G FC, OTU2/2e/4 services, or increasing existing network capacity. The device delivers up to 600G, using dual 400G CFP2-DCO OpenROADM standards-based pluggable coherent modules for long haul applications.
The product meets market demands for low power consumption, rack space savings and reduction in the overall solution CAPEX and OPEX.

PL-4000M - 400G/2x300G Muxponder
High spectral efficiency
Multi services rates over 200G/300G/400G wavelengths using standards-based pluggable 400G DCO modules, with optional Layer-1 encryption.

Flexible Design

The PL-4000M provides full demarcation point between the service and the OTN/DWDM network, and is interoperable with any third party switch or router. This provides full visibility and performance monitoring of both the optical transport layer (OTN) line and the client service interfaces.
