Specifications

Rack Integration and Service Access

Plan the fiber route before removing connector protection. The patch lead should follow its manager without pulling on the transceiver, while leaving space to release the latch and service adjacent ports. Protect the end face until final connection and avoid tight bends immediately behind warm exhaust air. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 100/200/400 Gbps, wavelength 1528.77nm-1567.13nm, rated reach ＞500km.

Applications and Optical Link Design

This coherent interface is suited to data-center interconnect, metro transport and managed DWDM links where the host platform supports the stated modulation and FEC modes. Design the optical line around the actual launch power, receiver range, OSNR requirement and span loss; the stated reach is not a substitute for a link-budget calculation. Use matching coherent modules and the appropriate DWDM channel plan at both ends.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 400G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP-DD housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

Coherent deployment requires a line-system review, not merely a matching connector. Confirm the DWDM channel, launch-power range, receiver limits, OSNR and FEC mode at both ends. Span loss and amplifier operation must remain inside the supported envelope, and stated reach should be validated against the actual route.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -13~-9dBm; receiver sensitivity is 400G ZR+: -18dBm 400G ZR: -19dBm 200G: -26dBm 100G: --30dBm. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Ciena Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected 180-3580-900 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify 180-3580-900, 180-3580-900, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
