Let me clarify a bit-I understand that 40GBase-LR4 uses 4 10g wavelengths(lanes) which typically are: 1264.5- 1277.5 nm 1284.5–1297.5 nm 1304.5–1317.5 nm 1324.5–1337.5 nm My question is are there any vendors that make optics which 4 wavelengths(lanes) are something other than those typically

I believe the 40g and 100g optics are already muxing 4 channels within the transceiver before outputting it to 1310. https://community.fs.com/blog/40gbase-lr4-qsfp-transceiver-links-cwdm-and-psm.html Luke Guillory Vice President – Technology and Innovation Tel:985.536.1212 Fax:985.

QSFPs generally output 4 lanes of traffic. Either 4 channels at 10G or 4 channels at 25G. So unless you find an optic that can do single-channel OTN at 100G, you’re probably going to have a hard time plugging them into a DWDM shelf. at 12:27 PM, Lewis,Mitchell T. wrote: Does anyone kno
