The Sorrento Networks OFCM is an optical transport module within the GigaMux series, engineered for high-speed data transmission across fiber optic networks. It integrates wavelength division multiplexing technologies—DWDM, CWDM, and WDM—to maximize bandwidth utilization while reducing operational costs. The module supports multi-rate optical interfaces including OC-192 / STM-64, 10 GbE WAN PHY, 10 GbE LAN PHY, and 10G Fibre Channel, operating as a protocol-independent transport platform suitable for data center connectivity, enterprise networks, and service provider deployments.
