OTN WDM Subsystem:400G Multi-Scenario Platform for 5G and Cloud Era
Posted on 2025-03-25

●Industry Trends & Product Positioning

With 5G densification, cloud resource pooling, and enterprise digitalization, legacy optical networks face three critical challenges:

Bandwidth Wall: Live streaming/AI training demands 400G/channel transmission.

Space Constraints: Metro sites require 1RU high-density design to save 70% rack space.

Multi-service Convergence: Legacy SDH and modern 25G/400G Ethernet coexistence.


CL-OTN-3900-04


The CL-OTN-3900-04 addresses these needs through Opto-Electronic Co-Design:

✓ 96λ×400G=38.4T total capacity

✓ Smooth evolution from 10G/100G networks

✓ 30% OPEX reduction via multi-protocol integration


●Technological Innovations

1.Ultra-Compact Hardware

3D Thermal Design: Aerodynamic guide slots + intelligent fans improve cooling by 40%

Hybrid PSU: AC/DC/HDC compatibility with global certifications (EN 61000-4-5)

Front-access Maintenance: 45° angled ports reduce maintenance space by 40%


2.Intelligent Optical Layer

Dynamic Power Equalization: SOA amplifiers control fluctuation ≤0.5dB

Auto-Tuning Lasers: ITU-T G.694.1 compliance, wavelength switching<2ms<>

Dispersion Compensation: Built-in DCM modules (±1000ps/nm range)
