About This Part
The Ciena 160-9501-900, identified by its QSFP-40G-LR4 designation, is a high-performance Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) optical transceiver module. This module is engineered to provide 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber, adhering to the LR4 standard for long-reach applications. Operating at a nominal data rate of 40 Gbps, it typically utilizes four independent 10 Gbps optical channels, multiplexed and demultiplexed over a single fiber pair using LAN WDM technology. The LR4 specification dictates a maximum reach of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) over duplex single-mode fiber, making it ideal for interconnecting switches, routers, and servers across campus networks or within large data centers. Its hot-pluggable QSFP form factor ensures ease of installation and maintenance, while its low power consumption contributes to operational efficiency in high-density environments. This Ciena transceiver is a critical component for modern high-speed optical infrastructure. The Ciena 160-9501-900 transceiver is widely deployed in mission-critical network environments requiring robust 40GbE connectivity over extended distances. Its primary use cases include inter-building connections within large enterprise campuses, data center interconnects (DCI) between co-location facilities, and core network uplinks for telecom operators and internet service providers. It seamlessly integrates with a variety of networking platforms, including Ciena's own optical transport and routing solutions, as well as third-party switches and routers that support QSFP+ interfaces. This module is instrumental in solving bandwidth bottlenecks, enabling the aggregation of multiple 10GbE links into a single 40GbE channel, thereby simplifying network architecture and reducing cabling complexity. It serves as a vital upgrade path for organizations looking to scale their network capacity without overhauling existing fiber infrastructure, replacing multiple lower-speed transceivers or short-reach copper solutions.
