v2Complete technical specifications and product details
Ciena compatible 160-9404-900 Description
160-9404-900 is the Ciena legacy part number (inherited from Nortel) for a dual-rate 100GBASE-ER4 / OTU4-ER4 QSFP28 transceiver. The same module is also listed under Ciena's native part number XCVR-Q30V31. This EDGE compatible module matches the original Ciena specifications with EEPROM coded for Ciena platform authentication. It operates over duplex single-mode fiber at four LAN-WDM wavelengths (1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm), reaching up to 40 km with host FEC or 30 km without FEC.
The module uses EML transmitters and APD (Avalanche Photodiode) receivers, supporting both 100G Ethernet at 103.125 Gbps and OTU4 at 111.81 Gbps. DDM/DOM provides real-time readings of TX/RX optical power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. Maximum power consumption is 4.5 W from a single 3.3 V supply. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C.
The 160-9404-900 works in Ciena Waveserver (including Waveserver Ai and Waveserver 5), 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, and 5170/5160 Service Aggregation Switches. Our compatible module is programmed with Ciena-format EEPROM data designed to suppress the UCTF (uncertified) operational state.
Ciena uses two part number formats for the same transceiver. The 160-xxxx-900 series is the legacy numbering inherited from Nortel. XCVR-Qxxxxx is Ciena's native naming convention. Both 160-9404-900 and XCVR-Q30V31 refer to the same 100GBASE-ER4 Lite dual-rate module with identical specifications. Our compatible module covers both part numbers.
Our compatible 160-9404-900 is CE and RoHS certified, QSFP28 MSA-compliant, and conforms to the 100GBASE-ER4 Lite specification. Before delivery, every module undergoes optical parameter measurement, connector cleanliness inspection, and EEPROM data validation testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 160-9404-900 and XCVR-Q30V31?
They are the same module. 160-9404-900 is Ciena's legacy part number format inherited from Nortel. XCVR-Q30V31 is Ciena's native naming convention. Both refer to the same dual-rate 100GBASE-ER4 / OTU4 QSFP28 transceiver with identical specifications. If your BOM lists either part number, this module is the correct replacement.
Which Ciena platforms support the 160-9404-900?
The 160-9404-900 is used in Ciena Waveserver (including Waveserver Ai and Waveserver 5) for DCI client-side connections, the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, and the 5170 and 5160 Service Aggregation Switches. Check the Ciena myCiena portal for your specific platform's certified optics list.
Will a compatible 160-9404-900 trigger alarms on Ciena equipment?
Ciena equipment can flag non-certified modules with a UCTF (uncertified) operational state. Our compatible module is programmed with Ciena-format EEPROM data designed to suppress the UCTF operational state. Verify compatibility with your specific Ciena OS version before deployment.
Does the 160-9404-900 support OTU4?
Yes. The 160-9404-900 is a dual-rate module supporting both 100G Ethernet (103.125 Gbps) and OTU4 (111.81 Gbps). The module operates at the rate configured by the host port. This makes it suitable for Ciena OTN deployments on the 6500 and Waveserver platforms.
