Cisco QSFP-DD Pluggable Open Line System
Get optical amplifier and multiplexer functionality in a pluggable form factor deployed directly in routers. Simplify the optical layer for Routed Optical Networking.
Product Overview
Optical Amplification
Integrated optical amplifier in a QSFP-DD pluggable provides signal boost without external amplifier shelves.
Wavelength Multiplexing
Combine multiple DWDM wavelengths onto a single fiber directly from the router without external mux/demux.
Router-Deployed
Plugs directly into QSFP-DD router ports, eliminating the need for standalone optical line system equipment.
Routed Optical Networking
A key building block for Cisco Routed Optical Networking that collapses IP and optical into one architecture.
Simplified Optical Layer
Replace standalone EDFA and mux/demux chassis with pluggable modules managed by the router.
Lower TCO
Reduce equipment, rack space, power, and operational cost by integrating optical functions into the router.
