Description
The Ciena 162-7231-900 is a high-performance line card engineered for deployment in dense, carrier-grade optical networks. Designed for compatibility with Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, this module supports advanced optical transport features, making it ideal for scaling bandwidth in metro and long-haul environments. It offers robust support for 100G coherent DWDM transmission, enabling efficient use of fiber infrastructure while maintaining signal integrity over long distances. The card’s compact form factor and hot-swappable design allow for easy integration and maintenance within existing network architectures.
Equipped with a CFP transceiver interface, the 162-7231-900 delivers flexible connectivity options and supports a range of modulation formats including QPSK and 16QAM. It features integrated forward error correction (FEC) and digital signal processing (DSP) to enhance transmission performance and reduce latency. Built with carrier-class reliability, it includes redundant components and is capable of operating in demanding environments with high availability requirements. Ideal for network operators seeking to expand capacity without a complete infrastructure overhaul, this used module offers a cost-effective solution for upgrading optical transport layers.
