If we assume WDM of CV-QKD channels on a 5 GHz grid, we can fit a minimum of 11 channels in the band between the classical channels. If we also assume placing 11 channels before and after the outermost classical channels, a total of 31 bands of CV-QKD channels can be transmitted. This sums up to to a SKR of 15.7 Gbit/s per core for the most conservative assumption of collective attacks and a reconciliation efficiency of β = 0.898. If all six outer cores are used, the SKR may potentially be increased to 94.2 Gbit/s with a classical datarate of 70 Tbit/s, not including the center core since the impact from crosstalk from this core was not covered in our experiments. 5. Conclusions We have measured the excess noise from the crosstalk of 100 GHz spaced WDM 24.5 Gbaud PM-16QAM signals on 1 GHz CV-QKD channels spatially multiplexed in a 19-core fiber. The CV-QKD signals can be placed at wavelengths in the guard-band between the classical channels and has the potential to support 341 QKD channels with 5 GHz spacing between 1537 nm and 1563 nm together with 17 Tbit/s classical data-rate in the three neighboring cores.
