Description
The Ciena 186-2003-902 is a high-performance optical transponder module engineered for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, ideal for extending the capacity of existing fiber networks. Designed for compatibility with Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, this module supports 100G coherent transmission, delivering reliable and scalable bandwidth for metro and long-haul applications. Its compact, plug-in form factor allows for efficient use of chassis space while maintaining low power consumption. Built with carrier-grade reliability, it is suited for service providers and data centers seeking to optimize network performance with minimal downtime.
This transponder features dual QSFP28 ports and supports advanced modulation formats, including QPSK and 16QAM, enabling flexible deployment across varying link distances. Integrated Forward Error Correction (FEC) ensures data integrity over extended fiber spans, while software-configurable settings allow for easy adaptation to evolving network demands. The 186-2003-902 also includes comprehensive performance monitoring and diagnostics capabilities via Ciena’s OneControl management system. When purchased used, buyers benefit from a cost-effective solution without sacrificing the high standards of optical transport technology.
