About This Part
The Ciena Part Number 730-0005-026A is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver designed for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) applications. This module, identified by its Ciena internal designation OPT-26D-UL, operates at a nominal data rate of 2.67 Gigabits per second (Gbps), making it suitable for various high-speed optical transport requirements, including OC-48/STM-16 equivalent services with Forward Error Correction (FEC) overhead. It utilizes a specific DWDM channel, transmitting at a precise wavelength of 1556.55 nanometers, corresponding to Channel 26 within the C-band. Engineered for extended reach, this SFP transceiver supports optical links up to 120 kilometers, providing robust and reliable connectivity for metropolitan and regional network deployments. Its compact SFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of Ciena networking platforms, facilitating flexible and scalable optical infrastructure solutions. This Ciena DWDM SFP transceiver is primarily deployed in optical transport networks where high bandwidth and long-distance connectivity are critical. It is commonly installed in Ciena's carrier-grade optical platforms, such as the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform or similar DWDM systems, to establish or expand high-capacity links between network nodes. Telecom operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and large data center providers leverage this module for data center interconnects (DCI), metro ring extensions, and regional backbone links. The 730-0005-026A solves the challenge of increasing network capacity over existing fiber infrastructure by enabling multiple wavelengths to coexist on a single fiber pair, thereby deferring costly fiber builds. It serves as a vital component for upgrading legacy networks to support higher data rates and greater spectral efficiency, replacing older, lower-capacity transceivers and enhancing overall network performance and scalability. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing cost-effective, high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, including the Ciena 730-0005-026A.
