Based on the latest generation of liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology, the Finisar Australia Flexgrid® C+L band Twin 65-Port WSS is specifically designed to address new DCI requirements. It is a fully integrated C+L wavelength selective switch (WSS) that offers hyperscalers a cost-effective solution for deployments of C+L band DWDM optical transport systems. It enables complete flexibility in allocating the available spectrum to DWDM channels with any baud rates and data rates. It offers colorless multiplexing/demultiplexing of 400G, 800G, 1.2T, and 1.6T channels, and it is compatible with the higher baud/data rates that will be available in the years to come because of the constant innovation in the coherent optical technology.
JUDGE’S COMMENT: “Finisar Australia's Flexgrid® C+L band Twin 65-port WSS is unique. It is the first WSS to offer >64 add/drop ports.”
