TX Power Control
Lowest ROSNR
Lowest Power
Spectral Shaping
Tuned to Line System
WaveLogic 5 Nano 400ZR offers the ability to tune the transmit optical output power for channel equalization in a DWDM system
WL5n is already optimized to propagate in a 75GHz fixed-grid channel, so this integrated WL5n feature doesn’t need to be used to correct for crosstalk and can instead be used to optimize system power and system margin
Next
Integrated Tunable TX power
WaveLogic 5 Nano supports the lowest Required Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (ROSNR) for longest reach in a 400ZR DWDM system
WaveLogic 5 Nano supports the lowest power for most efficient thermal performance in high-density DCI hub switches. Higher plug power impacts switch cooling fan power which can ultimately impact data center OPEX.
WaveLogic 5 Nano employs spectral shaping for optimized fit in 75GHz filters, supporting 64 DWDM channels and yielding maximum fiber capacity for 400ZR deployments
