It is a bummer, if 40/100g optics existed that used 1550 or some other color than those could be muxed onto same fiber pair as 1310 optic (The method for passively doing that extraneous to this conversation.

Why the lanes can’t be muxed into another output color I’m not sure, I can only find specs listed for the lanes but nothing for the final mux leaving the transceiver.

When I looked into this for 40g and 100g I found no way to passively do it.

Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2018 11:42 AM To: NANOG Subject: Re: Tunable QSFP Optics Let me clarify a bit-I understand that 40GBase-LR4 uses 4 10g wavelengths(lanes) which typically are: 1264.5- 1277.5 nm 1284.5–1297.5 nm 1304.5–1317.5 nm 1324.5–1337.5 nm My question is are there any vendors that make optics which 4 wavelengths(lanes) are something other than those typically used by 40GBase-LR4?
