It seems that many of you are recommending the SolidOptics 1U appliances for this application. What do those cost? On Fri, Sep 24, 2021 at 6:01 PM Lady Benjamin Cannon of Glencoe, ASCE <lb@6by7.net> wrote:
Above 40km I like coherent systems with FEC. You can feed the juniper into a pair of SolidOptics 1U appliances

I just bite the bullet and use 3rd party optics. It’s easier and once you make the switch, lower cost.

Open Line Systems can get you to 80K with a 100G DWDM Optic (PAM4) -
I've used a lot of SmartOptics DCP-M40 shelves for this purpose. They also have transponders that allow you to go from a QSFP28 to CFP to do coherent 100G out to 120Km using the DCP-M40, without a need for regen or extra amps in line.
The DCP-M40 is a 1RU box. It looks like a deep 40ch DWDM filter but includes a VAO, EDFA amp, and a WSS I think.

How is everyone accomplishing 100GbE at farther than 40km distances?
Juniper is saying it can't be done with anything they offer, except for a single CFP-based line card that is EOL.
There are QSFP "ZR" modules from third parties, but I am hesitant to try those without there being an equivalent official part.
The application is an ISP upgrading from Nx10G, where one of their fiber paths is ~35km and the other is ~60km.
