The PL-300 provides high granularity wavelength add and drop capabilities and offers a large set of passive optical modules that are tailored to the customers’ network requirements. The device supports a wide range of CWDM and DWDM mux/demux, OADMs and DCMs in various configurations, suitable for any type of CWDM, DWDM, OTN and ROADM network building block

 

Maximize Fibre Utilisation & Capacity

The PL-300 provides passive optical layer functions for 4-96 DWDM wavelengths mux/demux, 4-16 CWDM wavelengths mux/demux, optical dispersion compensation module (DCM), optical add and drop (OADMs), splitters and combiners.

The passive optical network products interconnect seamlessly with PacketLight’s transponder, muxponder, amplifier and ROADM product lines, and third party WDM products, to form cost-effective high capacity DWDM and CWDM solutions.

Applications

  • Expansion of existing fiber capacity regardless of service type
  • Building scalable high capacity pay-as-you-grow optical networks
  • Low cost fully passive optical layer solution, transparent to service rate and type
  • Extending the fiber optical solution reach for 10G services with DCMs
  • Building cost-effective add and drop networks
  • Enables stackable solution of 100G/sub-100G products

Single Fibre Application

This single fiber solution enables extremely high utilization of a single fiber to transport up to 8 x 400G coherent wavelengths by splitting them into 16 different wavelengths, transmitting in both directions simultaneously.

The wavelengths are split into two spectral bands by using bandpass splitters at both ends of the dark fiber, which are then connected to two muxes, each operating on a different spectral band (see Figure).
The mux output is connected to PacketLight’s active transponders and muxponders which provide the 3R (retiming, reshaping and regeneration) functionality, performance monitoring, management, Layer-1 encryption, and other optical layer diagnostic capabilities.
