Ciena’s WaveLogic™ 5 Nano (WL5n) family consists of a full suite of both interoperable and extended reach 100G-400G coherent pluggable transceivers—delivering the power, space, and modularity benefits of pluggables across a wide range of applications. Users can select fit-for-purpose pluggables for 400G metro Data Center Interconect (DCI), converged IP/Optical deployments, edge network capacity upgrades, or optical network modernization as needed. Innovative WL5n features such as Probabilistic Constellation Shaping, embedded amplification, and highest baud (70GBd)—all in compact, pluggable form factors, dramatically improve network efficiency. Designed for simple deployment in third-party host platforms, over any type of line system, all WL5n QSFP-DD pluggables are fully CMIS-compliant and offered in both low and high Tx output power options.
