PL-400 is designed primarily as an efficient C/DWDM transport device, and is typically deployed as a CLE (Customer Located Equipment) in enterprise campus environments and in central offices.
The PL-400 supports up to 8 high-speed services (2Mbps–4.25Gbps). Each service is configured independently using PacketLight’s userfriendly on board Web-based management tool. The PL-400 can be managed by any 3rd party SNMP system or with PacketLight’s EMS.
The PL-400 is designed to support point-to-point, Linear ADM, and ring topologies with facility protection.
The PL-400 is a highly integrated device, incorporating Mux/DeMux and EDFA for both transponder, muxponder and regenerator modes.
The PL-400 seamlessly integrates with PacketLight’s WDM product family thus enabling mixture of low and high bit services over the same fiber and supporting stackable solution operation of up to 40 DWDM, 16 CWDM wavelengths.
All optical transceivers, both on the service side and on the WDMuplink side, are pluggable and replaceable allowing pay-as-you-grow budget planning and simplified maintenance and full optical performance monitoring of the optical layer.
The PL-400 is highly suitable for applications such as:
• Interconnection of SAN and LAN islands over remote data centers
• High bandwidth managed service over dark fiber
• Low Latency connectivity for trading applications
• Fiber relief for high-capacity multi-tenant buildings and campuses.
• Aggregation of DSLAM and Ethernet switch traffic on a single fiber from access to core
• Video transport over C/DWDM and Dark Fiber
