Fujitsu debuts 800G ZR/ZR+ coherent pluggables
Fujitsu has launched the 1FINITY™ P300 800G ZR/ ZR+ coherent pluggable transceiver, an open, high-performance and sustainable key component for optical networking solutions. The transceivers, globally available from the second half of 2025, are compatible with third- party routers, Fujitsu’s Edge Networking portfolio, or in 1FINITY T-series transponder applications, offering flexible deployment options to optimise performance, cost, and power consumption according to the needs of network owners. Featuring 3nm DSP semiconductor technology, in
addition to pluggable support built-in to the Virtuora® network control solution, Fujitsu says the transceivers enable high- performance operation with 30% power per bit reduction and lower costs versus previous pluggable generations. Compliant with open optical networking standards OIF ZR and Open ROADM MSA, the P-series portfolio will offer a future evolution path to data rates of 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) and beyond. The 1FINITY P300 is equipped with ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) to automatically correct memory errors and other issues. Additionally, it features two firmware modules for redundancy, allowing continuous operation by switching to the
backup firmware in case of a failure. When combined with the Virtuora Network Control portfolio, the 1FINITY P300 host element simplifies the planning, design, and deployment of multi- domain, multi-vendor optical and packet-optical networks, including IPoDWDM. Featuring industry-leading open optical control, design, and automation, it offers an end-to-end network
management solution. Future updates to the Virtuora Network Control portfolio will also include pluggable management capabilities for use with third- party routers that support open optical networking. Virtuora software streamlines operational complexity, reduces time to issue resolution, and enhances both network availability and profitability.
Yokogawa’s AQ7290 Series OTDR
Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation has released the AQ7290 Series optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), an optical fibre field test instrument that
USB Type-C port for a DC power supply eliminates the need for a dedicated AC adapter. The AQ7290 can also be powered from a USB Power Delivery compliant mobile battery, making it possible to respond to sudden service calls. Yokogawa has also improved OTDR functionality by extending the dynamic range, enabling measurement over a longer distance than before. A dynamic range improvement of up to 2 decibels over the previous- generation AQ7280 Series is now available for all six models in the AQ7290 Series. Also new is support for high-reflection real- time measurement, in which the quality of the displayed waveform is emphasized, and updates are made while displaying the waveform with high accuracy. This makes it possible to measure the far end of long-distance routes and multi-branch splitters, which were not visible with conventional real-time measurement.
the company says will ease the construction and maintenance of
rapidly expanding optical communication networks. The AQ7290 is equipped with new functions that improve operability and workability. Six standard and high-performance models are available in the AQ7290 Series, offering a selection of two or three wavelengths to cover a broad range of fibre- optic installation and maintenance measurement needs. In addition to the conventional control system of rotary knobs and hardware keys, the multi- touch screen supports intuitive
operation and enhanced ease-of- use through a renewed graphical user interface. The addition of a simplified OTDR mode means even users not accustomed to OTDR instruments can easily
perform measurements with a single press of a button. In addition, a pop-up window clearly indicates the next operation, reducing the workload for field technicians. The addition of a
