FAQ for 400G QSFP-DD Optical Transceiver Module
Q1:What is QSFP-DD-400G-DR4? A:The 400G QSFP-DD DR4 is a hot pluggable optical transceiver module with a speed of 400Gbps, a wavelength of 1310nm, and a transmission distance of up to 500m with MPO-12,OS2 SMF. It is ideal for data centre, 400G Ethernet and Infiniband Interconnects.
Q2:What is the maximum transmission distance of the 400G QSFP-DD DR4 transceiver?A:HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD 400G DR4 module supports the maxium transmitting distance of up to 500m with MPO-12, OS2 SMF
Q3:What fiber connector is required for the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-DR4?A:The 400G QSFP DD DR4 module uses an MPO-12 connector with SMF.
Q4:Does the HYTOPTODEVICE QDD-400G-DR4-S require FEC?A:Yes. According to the IEEE 802.3db standard, Host KP4 FEC must be enabled on the Cisco switch port to achieve the 100m distance with a reliable Bit Error Rate (BER).
Q5:Does the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-DR4 support breakout to 100G?A:Yes, The 400G DR4 module operates by using 4 independent channels, each channel running at 100G PAM4. so the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-DR4 transceiver fully supports breakout applications to 4x 100G. You can use the QSFP-DD 400G DR4 to break out to 4 x 100G-DR transceivers (such as Cisco QSFP-100G-DR-S) using an MPO-12 to 4xLC Duplex(UPC) SMF breakout cable.
Q6:Where to buy 400G QSFP DD DR4 optical transceiver?A:There are many factories that produce and sell 400G fiber optic transceivers, but 400G optical transceiver manufacturer china HYTOPTODEVICE is the excellent provider: a source factory, fully controllable process, reliable performance, 100% compatible, sufficient inventory, fast delivery, and quick response.
