DZS introduced its next expansion of the category-defining Saber portfolio ? the DZS Saber 2200 transport switch. This hardened, high capacity, low latency, Layer 2 solution transforms the economics of deploying the flexible 100G transport circuits necessary for advanced mobile front/midhaul and edge transport.

Featuring an array of critical time sensitive networking features including integrated Grand Master Timing, the compact 1RU Saber 2200 supports standard 100G direct detect optics, a variety of coherent optics including OpenZR+ and XR and can function as a high-precision time protocol (PTP) Class C Boundary Clock with Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support. An extremely powerful solution providing 800G of low-latency switching and supporting time-sensitive networking features in a compact, deploy-anywhere package, the Saber 2200 provides 4x1/10GE (SFP/SFP+), 24x10GE/25GE (SFP+/SFP28) access Ethernet ports, and 4x100GE (QSFP28/QSFP-DD) line Ethernet ports. Designed to support a variety of 100G coherent optical options, the Saber 2200 support includes OpenZR+ coherent pluggables and XR optics for use as a leaf node within point-to-point, DWDM or point-to-multipoint XR fiber networks, terminating 25GE, 50GE, 75GE or 100GE of available bandwidth from the XR link.

By combining the Saber 2200 with Saber 4400 hardened ROADM, service providers can flexibly scale and transport L2/L3 services over DWDM networks in any environment. DZS Saber 2200 Key Differentiators: Offers high capacity, low latency comprehensive Layer 2 networking support enabling mobile front and midhaul capabilities, Features key Time Sensitive Networking including Integrated Grand Master Timing, Operates in extreme temperatures (-40ºC to 65ºC) providing an environmentally hardened system with deploy anywhere flexibility from central office to network edge, Supports enhanced common public radio interface eCPRI/CPRI transport capabilities via Radio Over Ethernet (ROE), Allows service providers to optimize bandwidth and improve network efficiencies with Advanced Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) support, Accommodates multivendor OpenZR/ZR+ coherent pluggables for long reach (up to 120 km without amplification) and multi-wavelength applications, Operates as a leaf node within a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint XR fiber network with support for point-to-multipoint XR optics over 100GE interfaces, Can be managed via NETCONF/YANG. Supports redundant, field-replaceable power units.
