Ciena 280-0204-00 1Gb/s SFP 20km 1554.13nm LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Ciena 280-0204-00 is a 1 Gigabit SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optical transceiver module designed for robust and reliable network connectivity over long distances. It is specifically engineered for Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) applications, enabling data transmission up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.4 miles). This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network devices across large campuses, metropolitan areas, or between geographically dispersed sites. The transceiver operates at a specific wavelength of 1554.13nm, which is common for long-haul telecommunications and enterprise networking over single-mode fiber. It features a Duplex LC connector, the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and precise connection for both transmitting and receiving optical signals. The SFP form factor allows for hot-swapping, meaning the module can be inserted or removed from compatible network equipment, such as switches, routers, or optical transport systems, without interrupting network operations. This Ciena transceiver is typically used in telecommunications networks, enterprise backbones, and data center interconnects where high reliability and extended reach are paramount. It supports standard Ethernet, as well as SONET/SDH protocols, providing versatility for various network infrastructures. When deploying the 280-0204-00, it is essential to use it with compatible Ciena equipment or other network devices that support this specific SFP module and to ensure the use of appropriate single-mode fiber optic patch cords with LC connectors.
