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.
The PL-8000G supports 100 GbE, 400 GbE and 800 GbE services over ten 800 G wavelengths, delivering up to 8 T per system. It can operate with 1 × 800 GbE, 2 × 400 GbE or 8 × 100 GbE client options, using 800 G OSFP-DCO uplinks and 800 G or 400 G client optics. Depending on configuration, the platform can include mux / demux, EDFA and optical switch functions, with performance monitoring, remote management, fibre monitoring and hot-swappable power and fan units.
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.
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.
Offers muxponder, transponder, or add-drop operation for short rings and access links. Hardware encryption and line-side GFEC or SD-FEC are optional features that can be enabled at purchase or later by licence.
Houses eight independent 10 G transponders that map Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or SONET services to tunable DWDM wavelengths. Optional EDFAs and dispersion modules are available for longer spans or older fibre.
Note: (Availability of in-chassis amplification, switching and encryption depends on the configuration selected for each deployment.)
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.
