Ciena 280-0291-00 4.25Gb/s SFP 80km Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Ciena 280-0291-00 is a high-performance SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed to support data rates of up to 4.25Gb/s. This transceiver is specifically engineered for long-haul transmission applications, enabling reliable data communication over single-mode fiber (SMF) for distances up to 80 kilometers. It is a critical component for building robust and scalable network infrastructures, particularly within carrier and enterprise environments that demand extended reach and high availability. The module utilizes a Duplex LC connector, which is the industry standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring secure and dependable physical linking. Its design adheres to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), promoting interoperability with a wide array of networking equipment. However, as a Ciena branded part, it is optimized for seamless integration and performance within Ciena's networking solutions, ensuring full compatibility and support. The 4.25Gb/s speed makes this transceiver suitable for various applications, including Fibre Channel SANs (Storage Area Networks) and high-speed Ethernet links where extended reach is a requirement. The 80km capability allows for efficient network extension across metropolitan areas or between major data centers without the need for signal amplification or regeneration, thereby simplifying network architecture and reducing costs. The Ciena 280-0291-00 represents a reliable solution for demanding long-distance optical networking.
