WaveLogic™ 6 Nano (WL6n) 400G–800G Interop Pluggable Transceivers deliver high-capacity, power-efficient connectivity for metro DCI, regional, and long-haul networks. Built on low-power 3 nm CMOS and optimized for Ethernet transport, WL6n supports OIF 800ZR and ITU-T/OpenROADM-compliant 400G, 600G, and 800G modes, including interoperable ZR+ with PCS to extend 800G reach to 1,000 km and beyond. With C- and L-band variants that double fiber capacity, full CMIS compliance, and QSFP-DD800 and OSFP800 form factors for seamless third-party integration, WL6n helps network operators efficiently scale 400G–800G services across more applications and network links.
