About This Part
The Ciena 160-9401-900 is a high-performance QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) optical transceiver designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This module, a critical component in modern high-speed networks, adheres to the 100G-LR4 standard, enabling robust data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) for distances up to 10 kilometers. Operating at a nominal data rate of 100Gbps, the transceiver integrates four independent transmit and receive channels, each supporting 25Gbps, multiplexed and de-multiplexed using LAN WDM technology. The typical wavelengths employed are within the 1295nm to 1309nm range. Featuring an LC duplex connector, the Ciena 160-9401-900 ensures reliable and efficient optical interfacing, making it suitable for demanding data center interconnects and metropolitan area network applications where high bandwidth and extended reach are paramount. Its compact QSFP28 form factor also contributes to higher port density in network equipment. The Part Number 160-9401-900 is extensively deployed in environments requiring high-density, high-speed optical connectivity over medium-range distances. This includes hyperscale data centers for spine-leaf architectures and data center interconnects (DCI), large enterprise networks, and telecommunication service provider core and aggregation layers. It is commonly installed in QSFP28-compatible ports on routers, switches, and optical transport platforms from various manufacturers, including Ciena's own networking solutions. The 160-9401-900 solves the critical challenge of providing scalable 100Gbps links, enabling operators to upgrade their network infrastructure from 10GbE or 40GbE to 100GbE without extensive re-cabling, particularly when transitioning from multi-mode to single-mode fiber for longer reaches. It facilitates the expansion of network capacity, supports virtualization initiatives, and ensures low-latency data transmission for mission-critical applications.
