PL-400

Highly flexible metro CWDM/DWDM optical networking platform for transport of storage, data, voice, and video applications over dark fiber and CWDM/DWDM optical networks. PL-400 is designed primarily as an efficient optical transport device, and is typically deployed as a CLE (Customer Located Equipment) in enterprise campus environments and in central offices or as service demarcation point for dark fiber providers and carriers.  PL-400 supports point-to-point, linear ADM and ring topologies with facility protection in CWDM and DWDM optical networks.

The PL-400 supports up to 8 high-speed services (2Mbps-4.25Gbps) over CWDM or DWDM. Chassis are stackable and used with the PL-300 passive external mux and can serve up to 16 CWDM wavelengths. All optical transceivers, both on the service side and on the CWDM DWDM-uplink side, are pluggable and replaceable allowing pay-as-you-grow budget planning and simplified maintenance. Each service is configured independently using PacketLight’s user-friendly Web-based management tool.
