By integrating all of these functions, the PM_ROADM-FLEX-H32M does not require external cabling between modules to more effectively scale to any size network up to thirty-two degrees. The use of dual LC connectors on the faceplate rather than MPO connectors reduces footprint, complexity and cost by eliminating the need for additional shuffle modules to provide conversion from MPO to LC connectors.","length":702,"tagN...
