Supported pluggables for the EDFA2 card coherent probe port

Updated: October 7, 2026

Want to summarize with AI?

This section lists and compares the features of DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 and DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable transceivers supported on the EDFA2 card’s coherent probe port.

The EDFA2 card supports QSFP-DD pluggable transceivers that generate tunable C-band frequencies. To establish an optical link for the first time, connect the pluggable to the coherent probe port.

DP01QSDD-ZT5-A1 pluggable features:

Supports tunable C-band frequency
Features a CoherentDSP controller on optics port 7
Operates in ZR trunk mode only
Provides a 100 Gigabit trunk rate
Utilizes OFEC as the only supported Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Enables PRBS support for CoherentDSP

DP04QSDD-E26-A1 pluggable features:

Supports tunable C-band frequency
Features a CoherentDSP controller on optics port 7
Operates in ZR trunk mode only
Provides a 400 Gigabit trunk rate
Utilizes CFEC as the only supported Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Enables PRBS support for CoherentDSP

Bias-free language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.
