Ciena compatible 160-9403-900 Description
EdgeOptic's 160-9403-900 compatible is a Ciena-coded version of the EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 multi-vendor 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 transceiver. EEPROM coding gives the module the identity Ciena platforms expect, so it reports correctly in QSFP28 ports that accept CWDM4 optics.
The module multiplexes four 25.78 Gbps NRZ lanes onto the CWDM grid at 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm and carries the aggregate 100G signal over a single duplex LC single-mode pair. The coarse WDM spacing follows ITU-T G.694.2, the same wavelength plan that defines the CWDM4 2 km reach class. DML laser transmitters pair with PIN receivers, and the optic supports 2 km over G.652 SMF. DDM/DOM diagnostics report temperature, supply voltage, laser bias, and per-lane optical power through the SFF-8636 and SFF-8665 management interface, following the 100G CWDM4 MSA and 100G CLR4 Alliance specification. The operating range is commercial 0 to 70°C, and the QSFP28 housing seats in any standard QSFP28 cage.
The EdgeOptic 100G-QSFP28-2.1 hardware behind this code supports three service types: 100G Ethernet, 4x32G Fibre Channel, and OTU4. In Ciena packet-optical and transport deployments this ordering code is used for 100G Ethernet transport. For a span that needs the Fibre Channel or OTU4 service on the module, contact our sales team to confirm the correct part for the application.
Watch the Ciena ordering sequence when selecting a part. 160-9403-900 is the CWDM4 2 km single-mode optic, on the CWDM grid at 1271 to 1331 nm. Ciena assigns adjacent 160-94xx-900 ordering codes to other 100G reach classes and fiber types, so the exact code determines the wavelength plan and the reach, and CWDM4 does not interoperate with the LAN-WDM grid used by longer-reach 100G optics. Confirm the code matches the planned link distance before deploying, verify port support against the chassis transceiver table for the target platform, and keep single-mode fiber with a clean duplex LC termination at both ends of the span.
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
How do I confirm the Ciena 160-9403-900 is the right optic for my 100G link?
The 160-9403-900 is the 100G CWDM4 QSFP28 part for 2 km over single-mode fiber, on the CWDM grid at 1271 to 1331 nm. Ciena assigns adjacent 160-94xx-900 ordering codes to other 100G reach classes and fiber types, and CWDM4 does not interoperate with the LAN-WDM grid used by longer-reach 100G optics. Match the ordering code to the planned link distance and confirm port support against the chassis transceiver table before deploying.
