Application
Where the link sits in the network and what it connects.
Optical network solutions
Build the optical link around the network task.
Start with the application, target equipment and installed fiber. Then compare the data rate, reach, connector, compatibility and document path needed for the project.
Link-first model reviewApplication → equipment → link → evidence
Equipment
Target device, port type, firmware and required coding profile.
Link
Data rate, distance, fiber, wavelength, connector and lane count.
Project
Quantity, destination, approval documents and delivery timing.
Network scenarios
Choose the path closest to your project.
Each route connects the network context to the product and verification pages needed for the next decision.
Data center fabricLeaf-spine, AI cluster and server links
Compare port density, lane speed, rack distance and cable routing before choosing pluggable optics, DAC, AOC or structured fiber.
- Switch-to-switch fabric
- Server and storage links
DCI and metroLonger-reach links across sites
Start with installed fiber, link distance, wavelength plan and equipment at both ends before narrowing the transceiver family.
- Single-mode link planning
- CWDM and DWDM routes
Enterprise and accessCore, campus and access upgrades
Match existing switches, fiber type, connector format and building distance to a practical migration path.
- Core and aggregation
- Campus and access links
High-density cablingBreakout and short-reach connections
Compare lane breakout, port mapping, cable length and serviceability for switch, server and storage connections.
- Direct-attach cabling
- Parallel breakout links
Application overview
See how the product families fit across five common network scenarios.
The application reference connects data center fabric, DCI, enterprise access, server connectivity and service-provider links to suitable transceiver and cabling families.
- Compare the network architecture before the SKU.
- Keep rate, reach, fiber and target device visible together.
- Use the final model check before ordering.
