Pro Optics Launches Next-Generation 1U Integrated Smart BOX DWDM System for Data Center Interconnect Applications

Compact 1U Design Delivers up to 1.6Tbps Capacity with Zero-Touch Deployment

Pro Optics is proud to announce the launch of its new 1U Integrated Smart BOX DWDM System, a highly integrated and intelligent optical transport platform designed for modern Data Center Interconnect (DCI) networks.

The new Smart BOX combines up to 16 × 100GE services with advanced 400G coherent DWDM transmission technology in a compact 1U rack-mounted platform. The solution supports point-to-point optical transmission up to 140 km without repeaters, providing a simple, reliable, and cost-effective option for metro and regional data center connectivity.

Designed for Simplicity and High Performance

Unlike traditional DWDM systems that require complex deployment and optical tuning, the Smart BOX adopts a new coherent optical architecture that significantly simplifies network installation and operation.

Users only need to connect standard 100G QSFP28 optical modules from their switches directly to the Smart BOX. The system automatically completes configuration and commissioning, reducing deployment time and eliminating the need for specialized optical transport engineers.

Key Product Features

• Supports 4, 8, 12, or 16 × 100GE services

• Total capacity up to 1.6 Tbps

• Advanced 400G coherent DWDM transmission

• Supports single-fiber and dual-fiber transmission

• Point-to-point transmission distance up to 140 km
