What is XR optics?
All optical networks today are fundamentally built using a series of bookended point-topoint optical links. In many networks, particularly metro networks, traffic flow is typically point to multipoint, with connectivity between a set of lower-capacity sites and a smaller number of higher-capacity hub sites. XR optics technology is designed specifically to address this asymmetry.
XR optics represents a new class of pluggable solutions that allow a single laser to be divided into independently routable data streams using 16 subcarriers, providing the industry’s first point-to-multipoint coherent optical subcarrier aggregation technology optimized for hub-and-spoke traffic patterns. This enables network operators to design more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective transport networks optimized for the applications driving network growth.
For maximum flexibility, we will also be offering a sixteen channel version of the XR optics which allows the 400G line side signal to be shared over 16 channels beside 4 channel version and 8 channel.
- 16 x 25G Channel
- 8 x 50G Channel
- 4 x 100G Channel
Additionally, when applied to limited cable resources, it can: mode single fiber working.
