The LDP300, all-optics (CWDM and DWDM) series is a 3-slot chassis providing a simple, yet extremely flexible and efficient way, to deploy data and storage services. The combination of colored Ethernet/Fibre Channel and CWDM/DWDM technologies allows for the design of a highly available multi-service network. It extends existing fiber-based infrastructure transparently over a broadband network and optimizes the use of fiber investment. The LDP300 is an inovative & "pay-as-you-grow" modular solution for all-optics communications.

All-optics technology is paving the way for optical transmission by minimizing the need for electric power and additional expensive Optical-Electrical-Optical (O-E-O) conversions.
