White Paper: QSFP28 100ZR DCO: An Operator's Guide

100zr-white-paper_graphic

Historically, transitioning a network from 10G DWDM to 100G DWDM required expensive external Optical Transport solutions and costly hardware upgrades. Now with the availability of a revolutionary new optical transceiver solution, the 100GBASE-ZR DCO in a QSFP28 form factor (ie, 100ZR), we can extend 100G DWDM without costly external transport equipment, expensive new switches or routers with QSFP-DD/OSFP ports, or outdated low-density host platforms with CFP2 interfaces. 

To put into perspective the positive impact of this new coherent optic, our white paper looks at network challenges and the limitations of previous transceiver technologies. We then cover the unique properties of 100ZR optics that enable breakthrough network applications and performance, and we dive into key aspects of the QSFP28 100ZR DCO:

  • Standards
  • Product Customization
  • Tuning Capabilities and Transceiver Management
  • Deployment Considerations
  • Single Fiber vs Dual Fiber DWDM MUX/DEMUX
