Applications
The Arista Compatible 400G QSFP-DD QDD LR4 Optical Transceiver is used in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, where it provides a 425Gbps (4x 106.25Gbps) link over SMF up to 10km. With its Duplex LC/UPC optical interface, the module works directly with the SMF infrastructure already installed in most facilities. For networks standardized on Arista Networks hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QDD-400G-LR4. 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 Arista Networks part QDD-400G-LR4 and works in Arista Networks systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA HW Rev 5.1, QSFP-DD, CMIS Rev 5.0, IEEE 802.3cu, 100G Lambda MSA.
Ordering Information
To order, quote QDD-LR4-400G together with your quantity. Stock items ship quickly; for OEM orders we support custom labels, retail packing and vendor-specific coding, all handled in our own factory.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
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.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
