Applications
Built for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, this QSFP-DD module carries 425Gbps (4x106.25Gb/s) over SMF up to 500m per link. Digital diagnostics report transmit power, receive power and temperature in real time, which simplifies commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QDD-400G-DR4-S. The link runs 8x50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QDD-400G-DR4-S and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE 802.3bs, CMIS 4.1.
Ordering Information
Our part number for this module is QDD-DR4-400G-SI. When ordering, just let us know the quantity and whether you need the compatibility coding for a particular switch brand; labeling and packaging can also follow your channel requirements.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
