Transponders

A digital landscape with interconnected glowing lines and nodes, resembling a cybernetic network. A city skyline and sunset are visible in the background.
A futuristic circuit board with glowing orange lines connecting various components. The lines radiate from a central raised square, suggesting data flow or energy distribution. The scene has a high-tech, digital feel.
A person in a hard hat and safety vest examines a large blueprint at a construction site, with the sun shining in the background.
A cityscape at night with bright light trails from passing vehicles creating streaks of yellow, orange, and blue against the backdrop of illuminated skyscrapers.

Transponders

Lynx delivers and supports DWDM and CWDM transponders that help operators extend reach, light dark fibre, and add dedicated high-capacity or encrypted wavelengths on long-haul, regional, metro, and data-centre routes. Each one-rack-unit chassis maps 10 GbE through 400 GbE services and, when configured, two 800 GbE channels plus matching Fibre Channel rates onto an OTN-framed wavelength. Built-in Layer 1 AES-256 encryption can be activated for security-sensitive workloads. Standards-based pluggable optics keep power draw and rack use low, and licence keys let you add bandwidth or enable encryption in measured steps without replacing hardware.

Transponder Product Portfolio

PL-4000T 1.6 T | 4 × 400 G Transponder

A four-slice chassis that can be configured as 4 × 100 GbE muxponders or single 400 GbE transponders per slice. When fitted with the optional mux / demux, EDFA, and optical switch, spans can approach 4 000 km using CFEC, oFEC, or SD-FEC.

PL-4000G 4.8 T | 12 × 400 G Transponder

Carries up to twelve 400 GbE or forty-eight 100 GbE services in one rack unit. Lynx can supply the chassis with internal mux / demux and EDFA, or leave those functions external if you prefer existing line-system components.

PL-2000T 800 G | 4 × 200 G Transponder

PL-2000T 800 G | 4 × 200 G Transponder

Uses four plug-in 200 G coherent optics for metro or regional spans; a DP-QPSK mode supports distances near 1 000 km. Optional AES-256 encryption is available when compliance rules apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What service rates do Lynx transponders support?
They map client traffic from 10 GbE through 400 GbE, as well as equivalent Fibre Channel rates, onto wavelength channels with embedded OTN framing.
Yes. The portfolio includes DWDM and CWDM models, allowing operators to match their existing infrastructure.
All platforms offer optional AES-256 Layer 1 encryption that secures traffic without reducing throughput.

Yes. Each platform accepts a multi-rate, multi-protocol mix : Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SDI video and OTU, on the client side.

They use standards-based pluggable optics and pay-as-you-grow licences, so additional wavelengths or client rates can be enabled without forklift upgrades.

They are designed for long-haul, metro and data-centre interconnect routes, giving service providers and enterprises a cost-effective path to expand capacity and protect mission-critical data.
