PL-4000M

Model: PL-4000M

PacketLight's PL-4000M is a high capacity transport platform which aggregates a flexible mix of services into a 400G DWDM uplink.


The PL-4000M is a modular and cost-effective solution for rolling out multirate 10/25/100GbE, 16/32G FC, OTU2/2e/4 services, or increasing existing network capacity. The device delivers 400G capacity over a single wavelength in a 1U chassis, using two uplink variants: 400G pluggable CFP2-DCO module for coherent metro and long haul applications, or QSFPDD-DCO module for short hall / DCI metro applications.

The product meets market demands for low power consumption, rack space savings and reduction in the overall solution CAPEX and OPEX by increasing network capacity.

Flexible Design

The PL-4000M provides full demarcation point between the service and the OTN/DWDM uplink, and is interoperable with any third party switch or router. This provides full visibility and performance monitoring of both line optical transport layer (OTN) and 10/25/100GbE, 16/32G FC, and OTU2/2e/4 service interfaces.

KEY ADVANTAGE

High Spectral Efficiency

Support of multiple services and rates over 400G single wavelength.

Powerful Feature Set

The PL-4000M delivers carrier grade, high-end 400G capacity per wavelength, capable of serving multiple applications and protocols for enterprise and data center networks, such as data, storage, video, and OTN. The product supports standards-based Layer-1 encryption, configurable per service or per uplink.
