100G ZR QSFP28 Coherent DCO Transceivers

Ascent Optics’ QSP-100COTU-H2CL Coherent 100ZR pluggable module is designed to simplify the deployment of 100Gbit/s services at the optical edge, where 10Gbit/s services are currently operating. With a new purpose-built DSP co-developed by ADVA and II-VI Incorporated, a standards-compliant QSFP28 form factor and 5W power consumption, it empowers any device with a standard QSFP28 port to directly transport 100Gbit/s services on unamplified as well as amplified DWDM links. Our Coherent 100ZR pluggable module uses the same design rules as 10Gbit/s optical interfaces, and therefore enables overlays of 100Gbit/s services without the need to re-engineer links. With its full C-band DWDM tunability and automatic wavelength tuning technology, it minimizes operational complexity and inventory. Furthermore, both C-temp and I-temp variations are available, enabling deployment in central offices as well as in outdoor locations, such as street cabinets. Engineered to meet optical edge demands, our Coherent 100ZR facilitates the adoption of 100Gbit/s coherent technology at the edge, and enables a smooth and cost-efficient upgrade of existing 10Gbit/s-based edge aggregation networks.
