Description
The Ciena XCVR-S80W29 is a high-performance optical transceiver designed for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) applications in carrier-grade and enterprise networks. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and is engineered to deliver reliable, high-capacity data transmission over long distances, with a reach of up to 80 kilometers. Housed in a compact SFP+ form factor, this transceiver is hot-swappable and compatible with a wide range of Ciena networking platforms, making it a flexible solution for expanding existing infrastructure. The unit operates on a fixed DWDM wavelength of 29, part of the ITU 100 GHz grid, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into multiplexed environments.
Built with precision optical components, the XCVR-S80W29 features a cooled EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Laser) transmitter and a high-sensitivity APD (Avalanche Photodiode) receiver, ensuring stable performance even in demanding network conditions. It supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM), enabling real-time access to key operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. This model is a cost-effective option for those looking to scale their network capacity using pre-owned hardware that meets stringent performance standards. Ideal for metro and long-haul links, it provides a dependable upgrade path without the premium price of new equipment.
