1. A method comprising:
generating a plurality of transmit signals at data rates that are offset from each other by inserting an idle data block into a data stream for one or more transmit signals of the plurality of transmit signals to increase a data rate for the one or more transmit signals;
converting each transmit signal of the plurality of transmit signals to a corresponding optical transmit signal of a plurality of optical transmit signals for transmission via a corresponding channel of a plurality of channels of an optical network device; and
transmitting the plurality of optical transmit signals via respective ones of the plurality of channels for transmission on respective optical fibers.
