Flexible Design
All optical transceivers, both on the service side and on the CWDM DWDM-uplink side, are pluggable and replaceable, allowing pay-as-you-grow budget planning and simplified maintenance. Each service is configured independently using PacketLight’s user-friendly web-based management tool.
Powerful Feature Set
The PL-400 supports up to 8 high-speed services (2Mbps–4.25Gbps) over CWDM or DWDM. Chassis are stackable and when used with the PL-300 passive external mux can serve up to 16 CWDM wavelengths or up to 44 DWDM wavelengths. When used with the PL-1000IL Optical Amplifier, up to 16 DWDM wavelength can be muxed and amplified.
