About This Part
The Ciena Part Number 730-0006-018A is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical transceiver, specifically designed for long-haul telecommunications applications. This module operates at a data rate of 2.67 Gigabits per second (Gbps), making it suitable for various optical transport network requirements. It utilizes a precise DWDM wavelength of 1563.05nm, corresponding to Channel 18 (CH18) within the C-band, enabling multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. With an impressive optical reach of up to 120 kilometers, this SFP transceiver is engineered to support extended distance connectivity, minimizing the need for intermediate regeneration. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in demanding network environments, providing a critical component for high-capacity optical infrastructure. The OPT-18D-UL designation further indicates its specific optical characteristics and intended deployment within Ciena's extensive portfolio of networking solutions. This Ciena SFP transceiver is primarily deployed in optical transport networks requiring efficient, high-speed, and long-distance data transmission. It is commonly installed in Ciena's optical networking platforms, such as the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform or similar coherent optical systems, where it serves to extend the reach and capacity of existing fiber infrastructure. Telecom operators, internet service providers (ISPs), and large data center providers leverage this module to connect geographically dispersed sites, establish metropolitan area networks (MANs), or build regional long-haul links. The 730-0006-018A solves the challenge of transmitting high volumes of data over significant distances without excessive signal degradation, thereby reducing operational costs associated with fiber deployment and maintenance. It is an essential component for upgrading legacy networks to support higher bandwidth demands or replacing older, less efficient optical modules, ensuring network resilience and scalability.
