Ciena 100G QSFP28 100ZR DWDM Coherent Transceiver

Brand:

Ciena 100G QSFP28 coherent transceiver designed for 100GbE and OTU4 optical transport over DWDM networks. It combines 100G coherent transmission with a compact QSFP28 form factor for high-capacity metro, access, regional, and IP-over-DWDM deployments.

OVERVIEW

  • The Ciena 100G QSFP28 100ZR coherent transceiver is a compact optical networking solution for organizations seeking to extend 100G connectivity over DWDM infrastructure without moving to a larger optical form factor.
  • Ciena describes the 100ZR QSFP28 as a single-carrier 100 Gb/s coherent transceiver supporting DWDM and existing QSFP28 router ports. It supports both 100GbE and OTU4 client transport, making it relevant to service-provider, metro, access, and high-capacity optical networking environments.
  • Its QSFP28 form factor makes the technology particularly relevant where network operators want to increase optical capacity while preserving compatible router and switching infrastructure.

USE CASES

  • Metro optical networks — Extend 100G services across metro DWDM infrastructure.
  • IP-over-DWDM deployments — Connect compatible router QSFP28 ports directly into coherent optical architectures.
  • Network aggregation — Support high-capacity aggregation between access and regional network locations.
  • Enterprise optical connectivity — Provide scalable 100G connectivity for demanding business networks.
  • Data center interconnect — Support high-bandwidth optical links where compatible coherent DWDM equipment is deployed.
  • Service-provider networks — Enable 100G transport while leveraging existing QSFP28-capable platforms.
