Ciena compatible 160-9402-900 Description
EdgeOptic's 160-9402-900 compatible is a Ciena-coded multi-rate QSFP28 transceiver built on our 100G-QSFP28-10 platform. 160-9402-900 is the Ciena part number for the multi-rate 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 module that supports 100G Ethernet, OTU4, and 128G Fibre Channel client interfaces. EdgeOptic's compatible carries Ciena-specific EEPROM coding so the module registers with certified (Ena) status in Ciena SAOS, removing the foreign-transceiver classification.
The module operates over a duplex single-mode fiber pair using LAN WDM. Four optical channels at 1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm are multiplexed inside the module and carried over a single LC duplex connection. The transmitter uses cooled 4x25 Gb/s LAN WDM TOSAs (EML lasers); the receiver uses 4x25 Gb/s PIN ROSAs. Optical link budget is 6.3 dB, supporting up to 10 km over G.652 single-mode fiber. Per-lane transmit power is -4.3 dBm to +4.5 dBm; per-lane receiver sensitivity is -10.6 dBm pre-FEC.
The 160-9402-900 supports three client rates: 100G Ethernet at 103.125 Gbps (IEEE 802.3ba), OTU4 at 111.81 Gbps per ITU-T G.709, and 128G Generation 6 Fibre Channel per FC-PI-7 (128 Gbps). FEC is supported for OTU4 and 128GFC operation per the respective standards; for 100GbE, FEC is handled by the host switch ASIC and the module is transparent to RS-FEC. This multi-rate capability is the primary distinction between the 160-9402-900 and the 160-9401-900 sibling, which is 100G Ethernet only.
DDM/DOM optical diagnostics report per-lane TX and RX optical power, laser bias current, module temperature, and supply voltage through the QSFP28 SFF-8636 management interface. The module is hot-swappable and conforms to the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665), IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4 Clause 88, and the OTU4 and 128GFC standards listed above. Operating temperature is 0 to 70 C, with typical power consumption of 3.5 W within the QSFP28 Class 4 cage budget (4.5 W maximum).
The module ships CE/RoHS certified and complies with QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 and IEEE 802.3ba 100GBASE-LR4. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For project-quantity pricing or alternative vendor coding, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ciena 160-9402-900 and 160-9401-900?
Both are Ciena 100GBASE-LR4 QSFP28 modules built on the same optical interface (LAN WDM, 10 km SMF, LC duplex). The 160-9402-900 is multi-rate: it supports 100G Ethernet (103.125 Gbps), OTU4 (111.81 Gbps per ITU-T G.709), and 128G Fibre Channel (FC-PI-7, 128 Gbps). The 160-9401-900 is 100G Ethernet only. Choose the 160-9402-900 when the host line card carries OTU4 or 128GFC client traffic; choose the 160-9401-900 when the port is dedicated to 100GbE. The two SKUs are not interchangeable in Ciena ordering systems.
Which Ciena platforms support 160-9402-900?
Verified Ciena platforms include the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform on applicable 100G, OTU4, and 128GFC client line cards, and the Waveserver Ai on QSFP28 client ports with OTU4 capability. The 160-9402-900 is specified for line cards that carry the multi-rate client interfaces, do not assume parity with the 160-9401-900 platform list because the multi-rate cards differ from the 100GbE-only cards. Confirm the exact line card and software release in the Ciena hardware compatibility documentation before ordering.
Does the compatible 160-9402-900 work natively on Ciena equipment?
Yes. EdgeOptic codes the module with Ciena-specific EEPROM identification. The port reports certified (Ena) status in Ciena SAOS, the same classification a Ciena-branded transceiver receives. Uncoded third-party modules typically show UCTF (uncertified) status in SAOS and may pass traffic depending on platform configuration, but the Ena status from proper Ciena coding removes uncertified warnings and ensures clean integration.
Does 160-9402-900 support FEC for OTU4 operation?
Yes. The 160-9402-900 supports FEC as required by the OTU4 4l1-9D1F and 128G Generation 6 Fibre Channel standards. For OTN deployments running OTU4, the module's FEC support is essential to maintain the BER margin those standards expect. For 100GbE operation, FEC is handled by the host switch ASIC (RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3bj Clause 91 where enabled), and the module is transparent to it. This FEC capability for OTU4 and 128GFC is one of the reasons the 160-9402-900 is the multi-rate SKU rather than the 100GbE-only 160-9401-900.
