The OptiX Metro 6100 wavelength division multi service transmission system (referred to as OptiX Metro 6100) is mainly used in urban backbone networks, local networks, broadband data networks, and storage area networks. It adopts dense wavelength division multiplexing technology DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and sparse wavelength division multiplexing technology CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) to achieve wideband, high-capacity, and fully transparent transmission functions.

OptiX Metro 6100 supports multiple networking modes, including point-to-point, chain, ring, etc. It can also be networked together with access layer equipment OptiX Metro 6040 box WDM system (referred to as OptiX Metro 6040) to achieve a complete metropolitan wavelength division solution. The OptiX Metro 6100 system allows for wavelength scheduling at each node, featuring easy capacity expansion, flexible business access, high bandwidth utilization, and high reliability.

The OptiX Metro 6100 system can multiplex up to 40 service channels in a single fiber optic cable, which can simultaneously transmit 40 carrier signals of different wavelengths. The general access rate for each signal is 10Gbit/s or less. The OptiX Metro 6100 system can achieve a total bidirectional transmission capacity of 400Gbit/s for a pair of optical fibers.

OptiX Metro 6100 adopts a dual fiber bidirectional mode to achieve bidirectional transmission of dense wavelength division multiplexing, and applies reliable optical multiplexing/demultiplexing technology, erbium-doped fiber (EDFA) optical amplification technology, Raman optical amplification technology, SuperWDM technology, channel equalization technology, dispersion compensation technology, unified network management technology, etc., making OptiX Metro 6100 stable in performance, flexible in networking, and able to form network structures such as chain and ring.
