Ciena compatible 160-9401-901 Description
EdgeOptic's 160-9401-901 compatible is a Ciena-coded 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 transceiver built on the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. The module ships with EEPROM data programmed for the Ciena 160-9401-901 circuit-pack ordering code so Ciena platforms with QSFP28 cages identify it as a vendor-supported optic without manual override.
The optical path uses LAN WDM with four channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm, multiplexed onto a single duplex LC fiber pair. Each channel carries 25.78125 Gbps NRZ for an aggregate 103.125 Gbps line rate. Optical path loss budget is 6.3 dB per IEEE 802.3ba Clause 88, supporting up to 10 km over OS2 (G.652) single-mode fiber. The QSFP28 cage on Ciena 6500 client cards and Waveserver platforms carries the four channels through standard duplex LC patching, so the same module slots into either chassis family without any per-port optical-spec adjustment. Reach in the field depends on actual fiber attenuation and connector loss across the link.
Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) reports transmit and receive optical power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage through the SFF-8636 management interface. Host electrical interface is CAUI-4 (4x25G NRZ). Operating temperature is 0 to 70 degrees Celsius (commercial). Power draw is typical 3.5 W, within the QSFP28 Class 4 cage budget of 4.5 W maximum per SFF-8665. SAOS reads the SFF-8636 identification fields and surfaces module inventory in the platform's transceiver inventory and alarm tables, so DDM thresholds can be tracked against the Ciena ordering code without extra coding. The module supports 100G Ethernet only; OTU4 client deployments use a different optical specification, so verify the appropriate Ciena ordering code in your platform's transceiver compatibility documentation before mixing client types.
The module is CE certified, RoHS compliant, Class 1 per IEC 60825-1, and complies with QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 and IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4. Works on Ciena 6500 Packet-Optical Platform and Waveserver series chassis with QSFP28 client interface cards; verify the 160-9401-901 ordering code in your Ciena chassis supported optics list before deployment. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Ciena 160-9401-900 and 160-9401-901?
Ciena uses both 160-9401-900 and 160-9401-901 as ordering codes for the same 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 optical specification. Published optical, electrical, and form-factor specs are identical across the two codes, and the distinction between the two codes has no documented functional difference in the available sources. EdgeOptic codes the EEPROM separately for each ordering code so the platform accepts the exact part number listed in its supported optics table. Match the part number specified in your chassis documentation when ordering.
My Ciena platform's supported optics list shows the 160-9401-900 but not the 160-9401-901. Will the -901 compatible work?
Ciena platforms listing the -900 may also accept the -901 given the identical optical specification, but SAOS firmware release validation and the platform's supported optics list are the authoritative confirmation. EdgeOptic codes the -901 EEPROM for that ordering code, so the chassis identifies the correct part number on insertion. SAOS release versions and chassis configuration can affect which revision codes the platform validates against; verify before deployment, or contact our sales team if the -901 is not yet listed in your chassis documentation, for pre-purchase verification or to request a -900-coded compatible instead.
