Description
The Infinera MXP-M4ACO-ZC5 is a high-performance optical transport module designed for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, ideal for service providers and data center operators seeking scalable bandwidth solutions. Engineered for deployment within the Infinera DTN-X platform, this 100G multi-service muxponder supports coherent optical transmission and integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures. Its compact design enables efficient use of rack space while delivering robust performance across long-haul and metro applications. The module supports multiple client interfaces, including 10G and 100G Ethernet, providing flexibility in network aggregation and service delivery.
Technically, the MXP-M4ACO-ZC5 combines four 10G/100G client ports into a single 100G optical line interface using advanced coherent technology and soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC) for enhanced signal integrity. It supports ITU-T G.709 OTN framing, allowing for efficient encapsulation and transport of various service types. The ZC5 variant is optimized for extended reach, making it well-suited for high-capacity, long-distance links. Key components include integrated optics, digital signal processing (DSP) engines, and a pluggable line interface, all housed in a field-replaceable unit for simplified maintenance and upgrades.
