On request from Google, Versa qualified a custom-coded ZR optics module from Approved Networks on certain CSG platforms. The module has been verified for basic functionality, including establishing a link (tested with a 50 km spool and attenuators) and passing traffic.


Since the remote devices at the customer site may vary, it is highly recommended that customers validate the compatibility/link issues in their lab/production environment before ordering these units in bulk.
