Tangentially related to xR1, have any of you started deploying SN connectors on your 400G head-ends? It looks like a pretty clever technology, adding discrete connectors per lane, but curious what the adoption has been thus far.

We are willing to do 100G-LR1 if someone asks these days. It lets us be able to roll it up into 400G optics on our side as appropriate.
I hope the industry moves to 100G-LR1, as doing 2x100GBASE-LR4 in a 400G port is quite meh when it comes to faceplate capacity.
Unfortunately 100GBASE-LR4 will be with us for a long long time.
