Applications
The Arista Compatible 200G QSFP56 FR4 Optical Transceiver is used in 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, where it provides a 200Gbps (4x50Gbps) link over SMF up to 2km. The Duplex LC/UPC interface and 1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm and 1331nm optics match the standard cabling plant used in modern data halls, so existing trunks can be reused. It is interoperable with Arista platforms and replaces the Arista part QSFP-200G-FR4 directly. The link runs 4x50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 200G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Arista part QSFP-200G-FR4 and works in Arista systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers IEEE 802.3cd, IEEE 802.3bs, QSFP56 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8024, SFF-8679.
Ordering Information
Order this product as QSFP-FR4-200G. 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.
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.
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 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.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
