The WaveLogic™ 6 Extreme (WL6e) 2 x 1.6T 8 x QSFP-DD/QSFP-DD800 Module introduces the industry’s first 1.6 Tb/s coherent technology to the Waveserver® platform, enabling unmatched performance and spectral efficiency. Delivering up to 12.8 Tb/s in a compact 2 RU chassis, the module supports 100/400/800GbE and OTU4 client interfaces for metro, regional, long-haul, and submarine applications. With programmable baud rates up to 200 GBaud and advanced 3 nm DSP algorithms, the module maximizes fiber capacity while minimizing power and footprint. Multi-dimensional modulation enhances performance on high-noise links, while built-in automation features simplify deployment and monitoring. Supporting both C- and L-band operation, this WL6e module doubles wavelength capacity compared to previous generations, empowering network operators to scale efficiently and sustainably across all network distances with ultra-high-speed connectivity and operational agility.
