OSA FSP3000 Filter Connect bearers will continue to be available for new supply using the remaining optical filter options.

Following the recent announcement of the OSA FSP3000 1U E-temp active chassis (briefing ETH025/24 refers), the OSA FSP3000 1U High Power Chassis (AC Power) will be withdrawn from new supply for all OSA variants as this will no longer be required as an uplift option.

A simplified price list layout for the Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM) option for OSEA Lite and OSEA 6500 Filter Connect is notified.

Openreach is announcing the withdrawal from new supply of the option to select 10Gb DWDM longer reach network optics (with FEC) for OSEA Lite due to discontinued vendor supply.
