Ciena compatible 160-9111-900 Description

Ciena assigns the 160-9111-900 part number to a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ pluggable used on Ethernet client ports across its transport and packet networking portfolio. Typical host platforms include the 6500 Packet-Optical family, the 3000 series, the 5100 series, and Waveserver chassis that expose 10GbE client interfaces for aggregation or test traffic. The module is an Ethernet-only SR optic in Ciena's part number scheme; it is not used for SONET OC-192 or SDH STM-64 tributary ports, which use 1310 or 1550 nm single-mode optics on a different Ciena part number range. EdgeOptic's compatible carries Ciena-matched EEPROM vendor data so SAOS and the Ciena Site Manager element manager accept it without unsupported-optic alarms.

Optical design tracks IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 for 10GBASE-SR. An 850 nm VCSEL transmitter drives OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber through a dual LC duplex interface, paired with a PIN photodiode receiver. Minimum guaranteed link budget is 6.1 dB, yielding 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. The line rate is 10.3125 Gbps for Ethernet traffic; the module does not support OTU2 or WAN PHY framing, so provisioning on a Ciena client port must select the Ethernet mode rather than any OTN wrapper. DDM/DOM per SFF-8472 exposes Tx power, Rx power, laser bias, case temperature, and Vcc to Site Manager for per-port threshold monitoring. Commercial 0 to 70 °C grade covers the standard central office and data center operating environments.

Engineers building 10G Ethernet client aggregation on a Ciena 6500 or Waveserver chassis typically pair 160-9111-900 SR modules on the short spans within a POP and Ciena LR SFP+ part numbers for inter-site links. Both use the same DDM telemetry format to Site Manager, which keeps threshold policy consistent across the fleet. Before ordering, confirm the Ciena SAOS release and blade type the module will drop into, since Ciena rolls supported-optic lists per release. For volume orders, cross-release coding checks, or to confirm the 160-9111-900 EEPROM matches a specific blade in a particular SAOS version, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Ciena 160-9111-900 be used on a 6500 OTU2 tributary port?

No. The 160-9111-900 is an Ethernet-only 10GBASE-SR SFP+ operating at 10.3125 Gbps. OTU2 tributary ports require an OTN-capable client optic running at 10.709 Gbps with appropriate FEC support, and Ciena carries those under a different part number range. Provision the 160-9111-900 only on 10GbE client ports in SAOS.

Which Ciena platforms use the 160-9111-900 SFP+ on client ports?

The 160-9111-900 is specified for SFP+ cages on the Ciena 6500 Packet-Optical chassis, the 3000 and 5100 series, and Waveserver line cards that expose 10GbE Ethernet client interfaces. Exact blade compatibility depends on the SAOS release; consult the Ciena Optics Compatibility Matrix for the running software version, or send the blade type and SAOS release to our sales team for confirmation before ordering.
