WaveLogic™ 5 Nano 100G/200G QSFP-DD and CFP2-DCO transceivers bring standards-compliant coherent optics into compact, power-efficient pluggable form factors for access, metro, and regional applications. Supporting single-carrier 100G and 200G transmission with flexible modulation, multiple baud rates, and broad client support, these transceivers enable deployment across amplified and unamplified photonic line systems, including exterior and brownfield environments. By extending coherent performance closer to the network edge, they provide a cost-effective and sustainable path to evolve existing fixed-grid networks while enabling high-capacity edge interconnect and new service opportunities.
