100ZR QSFP28 Coherent Transceiver
Compared to traditional intensity modulation-direct detect (IM-DD)–based optics, the 100ZR QSFP28 pluggable transceiver uses coherent technology to deliver 100 Gb/s data transmission across longer reach, and, with support for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), can scale to 9.6 Tb/s capacity on a single fiber pair, all while using existing QSFP28 router ports. This efficiency means network operators can unlock up to 96x more capacity without replacing their current router infrastructure, scaling their networks with minimal cost and disruption.
