The PL-300 family of products extends PacketLight’s optical network solution capabilities by providing a wide range of passive optical modules. The PL-300 provides the needed optical layer functions of 4/8/16/32/44/88 DWDM wavelength Multiplexing, 4/8/16 CWDM wavelength Multiplexing, Optical Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM), Optical Add and Drop (OADMs), splitter and combiners.
The PL-300 interconnects seamlessly with PacketLight’s WDM product family and third party WDM products to form cost effective high capacity DWDM and CWDM solutions. The PL-300 provides low granularity wavelengths, add and drop capabilities and can be used to increase 4G and 10G solution reach.
The PL-300 is PacketLight’s foundation for multi-chassis application architecture. With the PL-300, a customer can start with a low cost solution that meets urgent needs and grow step by step to form a full 40 wavelength solution over a single or dual fiber as demand expands.
PL-300 is highly suitable for applications such as:
• Expansion of existing Fiber capacity with new services
• Building scalable high capacity pay as you grow optical networks
• Convergence of existing networks and new services over existing infrastructure
• Forming low cost fully passive optical solution, transparent to service rate & type
• Extending the optical reach with dispersion compensators
• Building cost effective add and drop networks
