Infinera XT Series – High-Performance Compact Optical Transport
Bringing technology full circle
The Infinera XT Series delivers massive optical capacity in a compact, energy-efficient footprint.
Engineered for scalability, simplicity, and automation, the XT platform enables service providers to deploy high-speed connectivity rapidly — while reducing energy usage, rack space, and total cost of ownership.
At PICS Telecom, we supply and support both refurbished and new Infinera XT systems, helping operators extend asset life, modernise responsibly, and achieve measurable sustainability gains through circular economy practices.
Understanding the Infinera XT Series
Designed for open optical architectures and high-capacity applications, the XT Series supports seamless integration into existing DWDM and packet-optical environments.
Key models include:
- Infinera XT-3300 / XT-3600: Compact, 1RU systems ideal for metro, regional, and data-centre interconnect (DCI) applications.
- Infinera XT-500 / XT-1000: Scalable long-haul and backbone platforms supporting 100G–800G line rates per wavelength.
Built on Infinera’s Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) and Instant Bandwidth technologies, the XT family provides exceptional capacity and operational agility across diverse network scenarios.
Performance and Scalability
The Infinera XT Series delivers terabit-scale optical transport with operational simplicity and energy efficiency:
- 100G–800G line rates per wavelength, scalable to multi-terabit throughput per chassis.
- PIC-based design reduces power consumption and simplifies optical management.
- Flex-grid and super-channel support for optimal spectrum efficiency.
- Software-defined automation for instant provisioning and bandwidth reallocation.
These features make the XT Series ideal for data-centre interconnect, cloud backbones, and high-capacity service networks, combining speed, sustainability, and simplicity.
Supporting the Circular Economy
At PICS Telecom, we ensure the Infinera XT Series contributes fully to a sustainable network lifecycle:
- Extended Lifespan: Refurbished XT systems provide reliable, long-term performance beyond typical depreciation cycles.
- Energy Efficiency: Compact form and PIC integration minimise power and cooling requirements.
- Zero Waste to Landfill: All components processed under R2v3, WEELABEX, and Valpak certifications.
- Responsible Reuse: Equipment tested, warrantied, and redeployed to reduce e-waste and embodied carbon.
By sourcing Infinera XT hardware through PICS Telecom, operators achieve both environmental and commercial performance — turning sustainability into measurable advantage.
