400G Without Limits: Scalable Connectivity from DCI to Ultra-Long Haul
As data demand continues to rise, service providers and data center operators require a straightforward way to scale their DCI networks without introducing additional cost or complexity. Skylane Optics’ 400G QSFP-DD ZR and Open ZR+ coherent transceivers enable high-performance connectivity across edge, regional, and ultra-long-haul networks.
Designed for multi-vendor environments, these pluggable optics support both point-to-point and ROADM deployments. With high-power +4 dBm and ultra-long-haul options, they can extend reach up to approximately 2,400 km while simplifying network expansion.
