DCI (Data Center Interconnect) — Inter-DC routing or aggregation. LR4/LR8 transceivers for 10–80 km, ER4 for 40 km, ZR4 for coherent long-haul.
Campus Distribution — Catalyst-class campus distribution between IDF and MDF closets. PoE+ where wireless APs and IP phones share infrastructure.
Branch / Edge — Smaller form-factor switches and routers for branch sites. SD-WAN-compatible or static-VPN-attached as the architecture dictates.

Pro Disk Network Buyer’s Guide: Network Adapters
Optic Coding, Vendor Lock-In, and Multi-Vendor Compatibility
For Cisco IOS, IOS-XE, and NX-OS switches, the FC1020016-02D works out-of-box if coded for Cisco; for Aruba ArubaOS-CX, code for HPE/Aruba; for Juniper Junos, code for Juniper. Pro Disk Network confirms the target vendor coding at order time and applies it before shipping. Misordered coding can be flashed in the field but the lead time is longer than ordering correctly the first time.
Bandwidth Sizing for Spine-Leaf, EVPN-VXLAN, and Hyperconverged Storage
Document optic types and bandwidth in your network drawings: SR-SR for intra-rack, LR-LR for inter-rack and DCI, ZR4 for long-haul coherent. Mismatched optic-distance ratings is the most common cause of intermittent link errors that look like cable problems but aren't.
