The Infinera CHM6-C8 is a coherent transponder module for the Infinera GX Series (Groove G30/G42) compact modular platform, built on sixth-generation Infinite Capacity Engine (ICE6) coherent optics. Each ICE6 engine supports two independently programmable wavelengths at up to 800 Gbps each, using second-generation Nyquist subcarriers and probabilistic constellation shaping for extended reach.
Its ‘C8’ designation reflects an 8-port client-side configuration, supporting flexible combinations of 100GbE, 400GbE, and OTU4 traffic. Built for metro and long-haul networks scaling toward higher per-wavelength capacity. Available through TelecomLeasing for purchase or lease.
