Coherent Corp. announced the general availability of the industry's first 100G ZR QSFP28-DCO featuring 0dBm optical output power, specifically designed for metro and regional ROADM-based line systems. This transceiver stands out as the market's only high-power coherent transceiver in the compact QSFP28 form factor.
The module significantly reduces both power dissipation and network footprint, making it ideal for IP-over-DWDM deployments by eliminating the need for costly muxponders and transponders. This enables network operators to scale efficiently while achieving superior performance.
Dr. Beck Mason, Executive Vice President, Telecommunications at Coherent, stated that this innovation redefines optical networking by enabling cost-effective, energy-efficient IP-over-DWDM solutions. Scott Wilkinson, Lead Analyst at Cignal AI, noted that the high-power option expands the 100ZR market deeper into metro applications.
