We assess the feasibility of deploying a commercial CV-QKD system over a 20 km amplified FOADM-based metro link, evaluating coexistence in both full and partial C-Band occupancy. Frequency allocation guidelines optimizing the performance of CV-QKD and classical channels are provided based on experiments and simulations. © 2025 The Author(s)

Based on previous numerical results from deploying CV-QKD systems in coexistence scenarios with partial and full C-Band utilization over existing metro networks, we offer practical considerations to maximize the classical signal power range that enables quantum-classical coexistence.
