The rise of Coherent Pluggables
What does it mean operationally

Many more coherent links in the network

Desired reuse of existing fiber routes & line systems

Expansion of coherent towards network edge

Multi-vendor “plug and play” deployments

Additional personnel involved in coherent activation & troubleshooting

Comprehensive ZR/ZR+ Commissioning Test
Outline of the procedure

1. Optic Config & Test 2. End to End Ethernet 3. Optical Spectrum Analysis

1. Optic Configuration & Self Test


Ensure optic transmits on correct wavelength & power level with acceptable FEC corrections
in self loop
2. End to End Ethernet Test
Ensure no packet loss while monitoring coherent statistics (PreFEC BER, OSNR, DGD, etc.)
3. Receive Power & OSNR
Qualify line system performance on common fiber using appropriate in-band OSNR
method
4. Repeat /Steps for Reverse Direction
