Ciena 6500 Reconfigurable Line System
Ciena’s 6500 Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) empowers network operators to efficiently address the highest-capacity networking requirements in today’s metro, long-haul, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) networks.
If you’re a network operator trying to manage bandwidth-intensive applications—like connecting data centers, increasing capacity on submarine cables, or building out 4G/5G wireless infrastructures—your network must be ready to adapt to changes. You need to get more out of your photonic line system. More scale. More density. More programmability. All while taking up less space.
The 6500 Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) is a compact, simple-to-deploy, photonic layer solution that improves scalability, reduces footprint, and offers more flexibility and programmability. You can quickly react to unpredictable traffic requirements by easily scaling nodal connectivity and wavelength add/drop capacity with its highly dense ROADM and amplifier configurations. And with 6500 RLS, increasing fiber capacity with the L-band is just as easy as lighting the C-band—you get double the fiber capacity with no impact to existing, in-service C-band traffic.
TELECOMCAULIFFE offers the largest inventory of new and used multi-vendor telecom network products and data equipment. Providing critical spares and services to over 2000 customers in over 100 countries. All equipment provided is thoroughly tested to ensure it is in excellent working condition and is backed by PICS’ comprehensive warranty.
