1.1 Overview
The PL-300 family of products extends PacketLight’s optical network solution
capabilities by providing a wide range of passive optical modules.
The PL-300 interconnects seamlessly with PacketLight’s products, such as the
PL-400E, PL-1000, PL-1000RO, and third-party WDM products to form
cost-effective, high-capacity DWDM and CWDM solutions.
The PL-300 provides low granularity wavelengths and add-and-drop capabilities.
It can also be used to increase the 4G and 10G solution reach.
The PL-300 provides the essential optical layer functions of 4/8/16/32/40/44/88
DWDM wavelength multiplexing over single or dual fiber, 4/8/16 CWDM
wavelength multiplexing over single or dual fiber, Optical Dispersion
Compensation Module (DCM), Optical Add and Drop Multiplexers (OADMs),
splitters and combiners.
1.2 Main Features
The PL-300 effectively combines the following key functionalities:
•Passive solution that does not require power and therefore can operate over a
wide temperature range
•Passive transparent to any rate and any service multiplexing
•Compatible with all optical networking products (ITU grid)
•Supports both ITU DWDM 100 GHz and 50 GHz spacing grid
•Single or dual fiber operation
•Supports CWDM and DWDM passive MUX/DEMUX
•Supports CWDM and DWDM passive OADM
•Fully standards-based and can integrate with third-party solutions
•Dispersion compensation with passive DCM

•High-capacity stackable solution with PL-400E, PL-1000, PL-1000E,
PL-1000EM, PL-1000GM, PL-1000GT, PL-1000IL, PL-1000RO, PL-1000TE,
PL-1000TN, and PL-2000 products
•Provides dedicated fibers for Optical Supervisory Channels (OSC) to enable
multiplexing of management data.
1.2.1 Passive MUX/DEMUX Modules
The PL-300 may contain up to two MUX/DEMUX modules with 4, 8, 16, 44, and 88
channels.
The client ports of the PL-300 passive MUX/DEMUX modules are typically
connected to the SFP and XFP uplink ports of the PL-400E, PL-1000, PL-1000E,
PL-1000EM, PL-1000GM, PL-1000GT, PL-1000TE, PL-1000TN, or PL-2000. The
client ports may also be connected to other devices, such as a third-party switch,
router or SONET/SDH ADM equipped with colored optics with matching
wavelengths.
The COM ports of the PL-300 can be connected directly to the line fiber or, in the
case of DWDM PL-300, to other PacketLight products, such as PL-1000IL, for
amplification of the aggregated optical signal or to the PacketLight ROADM node
PL-1000RO.
For examples of how to connect the PL-300 with other PacketLight devices,
see PL-300 Application Examples (p. 45).
1.2.2 Passive OADM Modules
The PL-300 may contain up to two OADM DWDM or OADM CWDM passive
modules. Each module may be used to add/drop up to four WDM channels in
addition to the OSC.The remaining wavelengths may be bypassed via an external
connection between the express ports.
1.2.3 Passive DCM Modules
The PL-300 may contain up to four DCM passive modules that may be connected
to other devices with DWDM links, such as the PL-400 or PL-1000, to compensate
the optical dispersion caused by long distances.
The supported distances are 40Km, 60Km, 80Km, 100Km, 120Km, 160Km,
220Km, and 400Km.
1.3 Typical Applications
The PL-300 is a low-cost solution that can be used to:
•Expand existing fiber capacity regardless of service type
•Build scalable, high-capacity, pay-as-you-grow optical networks

•Converge existing networks and new services over existing infrastructure
•Provide a fully passive optical layer solution, transparent to service rate and
type
•Extend the fiber optical solution reach with dispersion compensators
•Build cost-effective add and drop networks
•Integrate with third-party CWDM/DWDM optical solutions and colored optics.
1.4 Physical Description
The PL-300 is a compact 1U unit intended for installation in 19-inch or 23-inch
racks or placed on desktops or shelves.
All connections are made to the front panel.
The following figure shows a general view of the PL-300.

1.5 Configurations
The PL-300 is designed in a modular way, thereby enabling various
configurations and applications.
