About This Part
The Ciena Part Number 160-9600-900 represents a high-performance QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density) optical transceiver module, engineered for cutting-edge data communication networks. As a critical component within the Ciena portfolio, this module facilitates 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400GbE) connectivity, adhering to the 400G-FR4 standard. This specification denotes its capability for four-lane operation over single-mode fiber (SMF), with each lane transmitting at 100Gbps. The FR4 designation indicates a specific set of LAN-WDM wavelengths (typically 1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm, and 1331nm) multiplexed onto a single fiber pair, enabling a reach of up to 2 kilometers. Its QSFP-DD form factor ensures high port density in network equipment, making it ideal for compact, high-bandwidth applications requiring robust and efficient optical links. This module is essential for bridging high-capacity network segments with minimal latency and maximum throughput. This Ciena 160-9600-900 transceiver is primarily deployed in data center interconnect (DCI), enterprise networks, and telecom aggregation layers where high-density 400GbE short-reach optical links are paramount. It integrates seamlessly into a wide array of network platforms, including high-capacity switches, routers, and optical transport systems from Ciena and other compatible vendors. Telecom operators, large-scale cloud service providers, and hyperscale data centers leverage this module to meet the ever-growing demand for bandwidth, enabling rapid data transfer between facilities or within large campus environments. It effectively solves the challenge of scaling network capacity without significant increases in physical footprint or power consumption, serving as a direct upgrade path from previous generation 100G or 200G optical modules, thereby future-proofing infrastructure investments and supporting the transition to next-generation network architectures. For B2B clients seeking to optimize their infrastructure investments, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished units of the Ciena 160-9600-900.
