Ciena 280-0209-00 1Gb/s SFP 20km 1543.73nm LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Ciena 280-0209-00 is a standard SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables. This module operates at a specific wavelength of 1543.73 nm, which is common for intermediate-reach applications in the telecommunications and enterprise sectors. It supports a data rate of 1 Gb/s and is capable of transmitting signals up to 20 kilometers, making it suitable for campus networks, metro Ethernet deployments, and inter-building connections. The transceiver features an LC duplex connector, providing a secure and standard interface for connecting to fiber optic patch cords. The 20km reach capability is achieved by leveraging the properties of single-mode fiber and the specific optical power budget of the module. This makes it an efficient solution for extending network reach without the need for signal regeneration over moderate distances. Equipped with Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) capabilities, the 280-0209-00 allows network administrators to monitor key operational parameters in real-time. These parameters include optical transmit power, optical receive power, temperature, and laser bias current. This monitoring functionality is crucial for diagnosing potential issues, optimizing network performance, and ensuring the overall health and reliability of the fiber optic link. The module is designed for hot-swappable insertion into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers, and other networking devices.
