We present an open design of a filterless add/drop reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer module with a NETCONF northbound interface. Compared to commercial offerings, the device design is openly documented and available for detailed inspection. Performance is evaluated with up to seven adjacent high-speed 100 Gbps signals on a 50 GHz frequency grid.
