Summary
Transceivers have long been a staple of optical communications networks. But now we’re seeing coherent pluggable optics take on new roles, particularly in router-to-router links for data center interconnect and service provider IP over DWDM. The value of pluggable optics in open line systems is becoming more apparent as well. This webinar describes this trend and explores how such modules can best be employed.
