About This Part
The Ciena XCVR-Q20U01 is a high-performance QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) transceiver module engineered for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This module leverages Bi-Directional (BiDi) optical technology, enabling full-duplex 100G transmission over a single strand of single-mode fiber (SMF), significantly optimizing fiber utilization. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 1280nm, the Part Number XCVR-Q20U01 provides a robust link distance of up to 20 kilometers, making it ideal for extended reach data center interconnects, enterprise backbones, and metro access networks. It features an LC connector for reliable optical interfacing and is designed to operate across an extended temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions. As a product from Ciena, it adheres to stringent industry standards for reliability and interoperability within complex networking infrastructures. This Ciena QSFP28 transceiver is commonly deployed in scenarios demanding high-density 100G connectivity where fiber resources are limited or expensive to expand. It is a critical component for connecting switches, routers, and other network equipment in data centers, telecommunication central offices, and large-scale enterprise networks. The BiDi capability of the XCVR-Q20U01 solves the challenge of increasing network capacity without the need for additional fiber plant, making it a cost-effective solution for network operators and service providers. It facilitates upgrades from lower-speed 10G or 40G infrastructure to 100G, supporting the escalating bandwidth requirements of modern digital services and cloud computing environments.
