Ciena Waveserver Ai 3-Slot Interconnect Platform
Part Number: 186-1010-900
Includes: Waveserver Ai Chassis with two 186-1032-900 slot filler (blank) panels
Product Description
The Ciena Waveserver Ai (186-1010-900) is a compact, high-density optical transport platform designed for data center interconnect (DCI), cloud networking, and high-capacity metro and long-haul applications. The platform leverages Ciena's WaveLogic Ai coherent optical technology to deliver scalable bandwidth, simplified deployment, and industry-leading power efficiency in a compact 1RU form factor. The modular architecture supports up to three service modules, enabling operators to scale capacity as needed while minimizing initial capital investment.
This configuration includes the 3-slot Waveserver Ai chassis with one active chassis assembly (186-1010-900) and two blank slot fillers (186-1032-900) installed in unused module bays to maintain proper airflow and thermal performance.
