ZTE: C+L Band Integrated Pluggable 800G Optical Module

Feb. 26, 2025
ZTE is introducing an integrated pluggable 800G optical module to address increasing demands for deploying large-capacity optical transport networks.

With the increasing demands for deploying a large-capacity OTN network with low power consumption, high performance, and convenient operation and maintenance, ZTE has introduced an integrated pluggable 800G optical module. Based on the C+L band integrated pluggable 800G optical module, ZTE has extended the commercial spectrum to the C+L band to provide 12Thz spectrum resources, and the transmission capacity per fiber is upgraded to 64T to meet the surging network traffic demands. The C+L band-integrated pluggable  800G optical module uses spectrum channels in the ROADM network to reduce spare parts. The C+L integrated design allows for using a single type of optical module in the network instead of deploying optical modules of the C band and the L band separately, simplifying the types and quantities of optical modules and reducing CapEx.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "ZTE has unveiled what appears to be a very flexible 800G optical module that will operate in the C- and L-Band."
