About This Part
The Nokia 3AL82179AA is a high-performance QSFP28 optical transceiver module, engineered for demanding 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. As a key component within the Nokia optical networking portfolio, this module adheres to the QSFP28 form factor, enabling high-density deployments in switches, routers, and other network equipment. Its primary function is to facilitate robust, high-speed data transmission over extended distances. Specifically designed for 100GBASE-4WDM-20KM-BIDI specifications, it delivers a formidable 100 Gbps data rate over single-mode fiber for reaches up to 20 kilometers. The "4WDM" aspect signifies the use of four distinct wavelengths to achieve the 100G capacity, while "BIDI" (Bidirectional) functionality optimizes fiber utilization by transmitting and receiving data over a single strand of fiber, typically using different wavelengths for each direction. This advanced design ensures efficient bandwidth management and reduces cabling infrastructure requirements, making it a critical asset for modern optical networks. This QSFP28 transceiver, Part Number 3AL82179AA, is strategically deployed in a variety of high-bandwidth environments where reliable long-distance 100G connectivity is paramount. Typical use cases include interconnecting geographically dispersed data centers, extending campus networks, and facilitating metro-area network links for telecom operators. It is commonly installed in core routers, aggregation switches, and optical transport platforms from leading vendors that support QSFP28 interfaces. Cloud service providers leverage this module to build resilient and scalable infrastructure, while large enterprises utilize it for high-speed backbone connections between buildings or data halls. The 100GBASE-4WDM-20KM-BIDI capability solves critical challenges such as overcoming bandwidth limitations over significant distances without the complexity and cost of full DWDM systems, and mitigating fiber scarcity by enabling bidirectional transmission over a single fiber pair. It serves as an essential upgrade path for networks transitioning from 10G or 40G architectures to 100G, offering a cost-effective and performance-enhancing solution for modernizing network infrastructure.
