Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the Arista Compatible 400G QSFP-DD QDD SR8 Optical Transceiver provides 400Gbps throughput in a QSFP-DD form factor. It operates at 850nm over MMF through a MPO-16/APC connector and supports link lengths up to 70m@OM3/100m@OM4. The module meets QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS 4.0, IEEE 802.3cd and includes digital diagnostic monitoring for live status readout.

Applications
In 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the Arista Compatible 400G QSFP-DD QDD SR8 Optical Transceiver delivers 400Gbps transmission over MMF with a reach of 70m@OM3/100m@OM4. The MPO-16/APC interface and 850nm optics match the standard cabling plant used in modern data halls, so existing trunks can be reused. 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-SR8.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS 4.0, IEEE 802.3cd. It is interoperable with Arista Networks equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Arista Networks part number QDD-400G-SR8.
Ordering Information
Order this product as QDD-SR8-400G. Common models are stocked for fast dispatch. We can supply the module with neutral or customer-branded labels, and compatibility coding for a specific equipment vendor can be added at no extra process step.
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.
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 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.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
