MicroMuxTM

Convert 100GbE ports into 10x 10GbE ports with zero footprint increase
With massive and ever-increasing traffic growth, network operators are having to upgrade transport
network infrastructure to support data rates of 100Gbit/s and above. However, there is still a large
demand for lower data rate services. Internet and cloud service providers are struggling to balance
current need with future demand. Our MicroMux™ solves this problem.
Our MicroMux™ is an active QSFP28 interface that converts 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) client ports into ten 10GbE ports
without compromising power, space or spectral efficiency. By simply adding this small form-factor pluggable, a 100Gbit/s-
based device can support 10GbE services. There’s no need for additional costly aggregation devices that add operational
complexity and consume rack space. Our MicroMuxTM also increases flexibility. Service providers can seamlessly mix
10GbE and 100GbE clients into 100Gbit/s-based switches, routers or optical terminals without any footprint increase. Our
MicroMux™ module provides highest client port flexibility with minimum operational complexity.

Your benefits
o Support 10GbE on 100GbE ports o Highest flexibility
Convert a 100GbE QSFP28 client port into ten 10GbE Single-mode and multi-mode variants; configurable
ports with just a pluggable QSFP28 for 100GBase-SR10 or breakout into ten 10GBase-SR

o Zero footprint increase o Save cost and operational complexity


MicroMuxTM fits existing QSFP28 cages without Reduce cost, points of failure and operational
modification and with unchanged energy efficiency complexity with less equipment in the network

o Support legacy infrastructure o 10GbE services on demand


Serve legacy 10GbE links with your newest 100Gbit/s- Easily increase or decrease the number of 10GbE
based infrastructure without additional aggregation ports in your 100Gbit/s-based switch, router or
devices optical terminal
