The PL-8000G is a modular and cost-effective high capacity solution for rolling out 100/400/800GbE services, or increasing existing network capacity. The device has 10 x 800G pluggable uplink optical modules, delivering up to 8T in a 1U chassis. The PL-8000G integrates mux/demux, as well as EDFA. The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) started the 400ZR project in 2016 to standardize interoperable coherent interfaces with power consumption/dissipation to support small form-factors, such as QSFP-DD and OSFP, to plug into routers. Targeting a module power consumption/dissipation of 15 Watts. Delivering up to 800 Gbps of bandwidth, Orion provides the performance that will effectively allow coherent pluggable modules to be used across most—if not all—optical spans in today's telecommunications networks.
