ProLabs has unveiled a line of CFP2-DCO coherent optical transceivers for 100G/200G requirements in campus-to-campus fiber network applications of up to 80 km without amplification.
The fact that the module integrates both advanced modulation techniques and the coherent digital signal processor (DSP) minimizes impairments associated with high-speed DWDM signals across large distances, says ProLabs. The CFP2-DCO optical transceivers are interoperable in environments with switches and routers from Cisco, Dell, and Edge-core, the company adds.
"To achieve the data rates and reach needed to meet future data demands, core network infrastructure must evolve despite the cost," said Patrick Beard, CTO at ProLabs. "Migrating from current configurations to new coherent technologies not only provides immediate, cost-effective 100G relief for long haul bottlenecks, but also establishes a reliable foundation for scaling into 200G."
