Overview

The Ciena OM6500 Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Flex C-band with OPM 9x1 Circuit Pack (model NTK553LA) delivers agile, high-performance optical routing for modern transport networks. Designed for flexible grid and fixed grid environments, this compact module provides precise wavelength selection, low insertion loss and built-in optical performance monitoring (OPM) to support dynamic bandwidth provisioning and network automation.

Key Features

  • Flex C-band operation with 9x1 circuit pack architecture
  • Integrated OPM for real-time power, OSNR and wavelength monitoring
  • Low insertion loss (typical 1.2 dB) and high isolation (> 35 dB)
  • Fast switching speed (sub-millisecond) for rapid service provisioning
  • Scalable architecture compatible with existing OM6500 chassis
  • Standardized 19 inch rack mount form factor for easy integration
  • Supports both fixed and flex grid (100 GHz to 12.5 GHz) configurations

Technical Specifications

  • Wavelength range: C-band 1530 nm to 1565 nm
  • Channel count: 9 selectable wavelengths per circuit pack
  • Channel spacing: 100 GHz (flexible to 12.5 GHz)
  • Insertion loss: 1.2 dB typical
  • Polarization dependent loss: < 0.2 dB
  • Polarization mode dispersion: < 10 ps
  • Isolation: > 35 dB
  • OPM parameters: power, OSNR, wavelength, tilt
  • Control interface: NETCONF/YANG and RESTCONF
  • Power consumption: 45 W max
  • Environmental: operating temperature 0 to 45 deg C, storage -40 to 70 deg C

Applications

The NTK553LA WSS Flex C-band with OPM is ideal for:

  • Metro and regional transport networks requiring dynamic wavelength routing
  • Data center interconnects that need low latency and high reliability
  • Carrier Ethernet services with rapid provisioning and re-optimization
  • Network slicing and virtualized transport for 5G backhaul
  • Optical performance monitoring in high-capacity DWDM systems

By integrating precise wavelength selection with built-in OPM, the Ciena OM6500 WSS Flex C-band module helps operators reduce operational complexity, improve network visibility and accelerate service delivery.
