Introduction of pluggable 400G coherent optics, what does it mean for you?

System vendors have already released products that support Coherent Standard 100G/200G/400G as well as 400G ZR/ZR+. We expect OIF 400G ZR and OpenZR+ support roll-out during 2021. Competition between Traditional 400G Coherent and 400G ZR/ZR+ Coherent Pluggable is expected. Will system vendors block OIF 400ZR and OpenZR+ 3rd party transceivers? Will OIF and OpenZR+ be a game changer?
