WaveLogic™ 6 Nano (WL6n) 400G–800G Coherent Pluggable Transceivers deliver high-capacity, power-efficient connectivity for metro, regional, long-haul, and DCI applications. Built on advanced 3 nm CMOS and supporting interoperable 800ZR, 600G/800G ZR+, and 400G ultra-long-haul modes, WL6n extends 800G reach to 1,000 km and beyond while doubling fiber capacity with C- and L-band support. Available in QSFP-DD800 and OSFP800 form factors and fully CMIS compliant, WL6n enables flexible integration across routing and optical platforms, helping network operators scale bandwidth, optimize power and space, and expand 800G pluggable deployment across more network links.
