Applications
The Arista Compatible 400G QSFP-DD QDD FR4 Optical Transceiver is used in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, where it provides a 400Gbps link over SMF up to 2km. Digital diagnostics report transmit power, receive power and temperature in real time, which simplifies commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Compatibility with Arista Networks systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QDD-400G-FR4. The link runs 8x50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS.5.0, IEEE 802.3bs. For projects standardized on Arista Networks hardware, this product replaces the QDD-400G-FR4 directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
Our part number for this module is QDD-FR4-400G. 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.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
