DWDM-SFP-5172 Use Case
Hyperscale Cloud Data Center Interconnect with DWDM-SFP-5172
In a hyperscale cloud provider’s DCI deployment, the DWDM-SFP-5172 (1551.72 nm, 100 GHz ITU grid) module enables plug-and-play 10 GbE channels over 80 km of existing dark fiber without new builds. Outcome: scalable on-demand bandwidth bursts, sub-1 ms latency and up to 30 % OPEX savings on fiber leases.
Metro Network Enhancement for Tier-1 Telecom Operators
A Tier-1 carrier upgrades its metro ring by inserting multiple DWDM-SFP-5172 modules (1551.72 nm, 100 GHz ITU grid) into existing DWDM line cards to support enterprise VPN and broadband services. Outcome: 4× capacity increase, dynamic wavelength provisioning and a 60 % reduction in network footprint.
5G Midhaul and Backhaul Transport over DWDM
During an urban 5G transport rollout, mobile operators deploy DWDM-SFP-5172 (1551.72 nm, 100 GHz ITU grid) modules to carry 10 GbE fronthaul traffic between the centralized unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU) over a 40 km fiber loop. Outcome: <50 µs jitter, 99.999 % reliability and simplified site provisioning for ultra-low-latency services.
