4.5 Diamonds

Ciena's 8180 offers reduced transport and packet costs, footprint, and power consumption by integrating high-density aggregation with high-capacity coherent optical in a modular, scalable 2RU device. Fully nonblocking 6.4 Tbps packet fabric offers scalability for high-capacity 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE applications and a path to 400GbE (future), which enables high-speed connectivity that cable operators need to ensure superior end-customer experiences and to improve their competitiveness.
