About This Part
The Alcatel 1AB402160012 is a high-performance Coherent CFP (C form-factor Pluggable) optical transceiver designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This module adheres to the 100GBASE-LR4 standard, utilizing four independent 25 Gbps optical lanes, each operating at distinct LAN WDM wavelengths (typically 1295.56 nm, 1300.05 nm, 1304.58 nm, and 1309.14 nm). These wavelengths are multiplexed onto a single duplex single-mode fiber pair via an LC connector, enabling a combined data rate of 100 Gbps. The CFP form factor, while larger than newer QSFP28 modules, was a foundational standard for early 100G deployments, offering robust performance for links up to 10 kilometers over standard G.652 single-mode fiber. Its design ensures reliable, high-density data transmission critical for modern network infrastructures. This Alcatel CFP transceiver is primarily deployed in core network routers, high-capacity switches, and DWDM systems within data center interconnects (DCI) and metropolitan area networks (MAN). It serves telecom carriers, large enterprise data centers, and internet service providers (ISPs) requiring substantial bandwidth for their backbone infrastructure. The 1AB402160012 solves the challenge of escalating data traffic by providing a reliable 100G optical interface, enabling operators to aggregate multiple 10G or 40G links into a single, higher-capacity connection. It facilitates the upgrade of existing network segments to 100G speeds, supporting the expansion of cloud services, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications without requiring a complete overhaul of the fiber plant. For B2B clients seeking cost-effective infrastructure solutions, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished units of the Part Number 1AB402160012. By providing access to high-quality, pre-owned telecom and data centre equipment, Revo enables telecom operators and data centre providers to expand or upgrade their networks efficiently and sustainably. Our inventory of refurbished Alcatel transceivers, including the 1AB402160012, extends the operational lifecycle of existing infrastructure, offering a compelling alternative to new equipment purchases. This approach not only optimizes capital expenditure but also supports environmental responsibility by promoting equipment reuse within the industry.
