About This Part
The Nokia 3AL82178AA is a high-performance QSFP28 optical transceiver module, engineered to deliver robust 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over extended distances. As part of Nokia's advanced optical networking portfolio, this module adheres to the QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) form factor, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard ports. Its primary function is to facilitate 100Gbps data transmission using 4WDM (4-wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, specifically designed for reaches up to 20 kilometers. This transceiver supports bi-directional (BD) operation, optimizing fiber utilization by transmitting and receiving on different wavelengths over a single fiber strand. This technical specification makes the Part Number 3AL82178AA an essential component for high-capacity, long-haul interconnects within modern network infrastructures, offering a power-efficient solution for demanding applications. This Nokia QSFP28 transceiver is typically deployed in core and aggregation layers of telecom operator networks, large-scale data centers, and enterprise campus networks requiring high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, routers, and optical transport equipment. It is instrumental in extending 100G Ethernet links across metropolitan areas or between geographically dispersed data centers without the need for complex DWDM systems over shorter distances. The 3AL82178AA effectively solves the challenge of increasing data traffic demands by providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for 100Gbps connectivity, replacing multiple lower-speed links or shorter-reach modules. Industries benefiting from its deployment include telecommunications, cloud service providers, internet service providers (ISPs), and large enterprises that require reliable, high-speed, and long-distance optical links.
