Looks like coherent 100G in the QSFP28 form factor is finally on the horizon. From the datasheet: * 100G coherent DWDM in QSFP28 form factor * tunable, flexible grid * 300 km with amplification, 120 km without * industrial or commercial temperature * 5 watts https://www.adva.com/en/products/open-optical-transport/pluggables-and-subsy... - Jared

They have been working on this for quite some time, and it's good to see it's baked. Emphasis on ZR... Mark.

Yes - if you are keen, reach out to your Adva (Adtran now, really) AM to get some beta units for testing; but FCS is Q2'24. Getting our hands on some to see how they perform. Won't replace longhaul DWDM applications, but can be very handy in the 1km - 120km metro range. Mark.
How much will these cost? On Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 5:58 PM Mark Tinka <mark@tinka.africa> wrote:
