FAQ for 400G QSFP-DD Optical Transceiver Modules
Q1:What is QDD-400G-SR4? A:The 400G QSFP-DD SR4 is a hot pluggable optical transceiver module with a speed of 400Gbps, a wavelength of 850nm, and a transmission distance of up to 100m with MPO-12,OM4 MMF. It is ideal for data centre, 400G Ethernet and Infiniband Interconnects.
Q2:What is the maximum transmission distance of the 400G QSFP-DD SR4 transceiver?A:HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD 400G SR4 module supports the maxium transmitting distance of up to 100m with MPO-12, OM4 MMF
Q3:What fiber connector is required for the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-SR4?A:The 400G QSFP DD SR4 module uses an MPO-12 connector with MMF.
Q4:Does the HYTOPTODEVICE QDD-400G-SR4-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-SR4 support breakout to 100G?A:Yes, The 400G SR4 module operates by using 4 independent channels, each channel running at 100G PAM4. so the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-SR4 transceiver fully supports breakout applications to 4x 100G.
Q6:Where to buy 400G QSFP DD SR4 optical transceiver?A:There are many factories that produce and sell 400G fiber optical modules, 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.
Q7:Q: Why choose the HYTOPTODEVICE QSFP-DD-400G-SR4 over the SR8 version? A: The QSFP-DD-400G-SR4 version is designed for improved efficiency. It uses standard MPO-12 connector (100G standard), while the QSFP-DD-400G-SR8 requires an MPO-16 connector. If you already have MPO-12 cabling installed, the HYTOPTODEVICE 400G SR4 is a more economical option.This will allow you to upgrade from 100G to 400G using the existing MPO-12 fiber.
Q8:Is the 400G QSFP-DD SR4 backward compatible with lower-speed modules,such as 100G?A: Yes. QSFP-DD 400G SR4 uses parallel fiber (MPO-12). Using an MPO-to-4xLC breakout cable, you can link it to four 100G-SR (PAM4) transceivers.
