Description
The Ciena 186-1301-900 is a high-performance optical transponder module designed for use in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. Engineered for compatibility with Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, this module supports 100G coherent transmission, making it ideal for scaling long-haul and metro network infrastructures. Its compact, plug-in form factor enables efficient space utilization in high-density environments, while advanced signal processing ensures reliable performance across varied fiber conditions. Built with carrier-grade reliability, it supports forward error correction (FEC) and adaptive modulation for optimized throughput and reach.
This unit features dual QSFP28 ports and is capable of transporting multiple 10G/25G/100G client signals over a single wavelength, maximizing fiber utilization. The 186-1301-900 utilizes Ciena’s WaveLogic coherent optics technology, offering software-configurable line rates and flexible grid support for agile provisioning. Power-efficient design and hot-swappable functionality allow for reduced operational costs and simplified maintenance in live networks. Ideal for expanding or upgrading existing optical transport systems, this module provides a cost-effective solution for buyers seeking reliable used hardware with robust capabilities.
