Acacia AC100-M06-041 is a 100G coherent CFP optical transceiver module designed for high-speed DWDM optical transport networks.

Manufactured by Acacia Communications (now part of Cisco), this module provides carrier-grade coherent optical transmission for:

• Metro networks
• Regional transport
• Long-haul DWDM infrastructure
• Service provider optical systems

The AC100 series was among the first commercially successful coherent CFP pluggable optics and uses:

• Integrated DSP technology
• Silicon photonics
• PM-QPSK coherent transmission

to deliver 100G transport over long optical distances.
