n 
100G is s(ll not making sense for all metro connec(ons, but has become a valid solu(on for fiber-­‐constrained areas and na(ve 100G port transport. n 
100G Passive Transport has already become a powerful, simpler, and lower-­‐cost alterna(ve to tradi(onal ac(ve transmission solu(ons. More informa(on: hop://www.cubeop(cs.com/evolu(on1550 n
