Optical transport system with 400ZR+ and 800ZR+ ports makes debut

By Redding Traiger | October 8, 2024

Ribbon Communications Inc. announced the industry’s first demonstration of a compact modular solution supporting 400G ZR+ with upgradability to 800G ZR+ on a single sled at NGON / NetworkX.
The live demo operates on Ribbon’s 9408 compact modular platform, featuring an industry-leading density of 25.6T per 2RU and an impressive low power consumption of less than 0.07W/G, significantly reducing TCO by saving space, electrical power, and cooling costs. Ribbon continues to execute on its strategy of rapid new technology adoption, utilizing Acacia’s 130Gbaud 800G ZR+ QSFP-DD transceiver with interoperable PCS, powered by its 4nm ultra-dense geometry Delphi DSP.
The 9408 platform also supports 5nm-140Gbaud technology for capacity and reach optimized transport including wavelengths up to 1.2T.
Please visit Ribbon in Booth A1 at NGON/Network X to discover how our optimized, automated and open IP and Optical solutions accelerate network transformation, and join us for “Get Ready for Game-Changing Low Power Small Form Factor 800G Optical Transport” on Thursday, Oct 10 at 14:10 CET.
