4-port
nanoOCM

Multi-port, flex-grid Optical Channel Monitor.
Same single-port footprint.

PhotonPath’s 4-port nanoOCM extends the proven single-port performance to four optical inputs within the same ultra-compact form factor. Using a fast-tuning narrow-band reconfigurable filter, integrated switch matrix, and advanced algorithms, it scans the full C-band to deliver high-resolution spectral analysis.

Designed for flex-grid environments, it enables faster fault detection, improved troubleshooting, and scalable high-density monitoring.

USE CASES

Applications & Network Impact

PhotonPath’s 4-port nanoOCM is ready to be deployed within DWDM network elements such as ROADMs, optical line systems, and data center interconnect (DCI) systems. Its compact form factor allows integration directly at the node or port level, enabling multi-point monitoring while reducing footprint, power consumption, and system complexity.

Optical channel monitoring improves network stability and efficiency by enabling fast detection of channel variations. It also lowers operational costs, shortens troubleshooting and recovery times.
