Description

The Arista QDD-400G-LR4 is a high-performance 400GBASE-LR4 QSFP-DD optical transceiver designed for data center and enterprise applications requiring long-reach connectivity. It delivers 400 Gigabit Ethernet throughput over single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers using four CWDM4 wavelengths and PAM4 modulation. Compliant with IEEE 802.3bs, QSFP-DD MSA, and OIF 56G PAM4 standards, this module features digital diagnostics monitoring and a duplex LC connector interface.

Features

IEEE 802.3bs 400GBASE-LR4 compliant for standardized Ethernet connectivity
- QSFP-DD MSA form factor for high port density in data center switches
- Four independent CWDM4 optical channels at 1271/1291/1311/1331nm wavelengths
- PAM4 (4-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation) encoding for efficient high-speed signaling
- Electrical interface: 8 lanes at 50 Gbps per lane with PAM4 modulation
- Optical interface: 4 lanes at 100 Gbps per lane via multiplexing and demultiplexing
- Hot-pluggable operation for easy installation and replacement without downtime
- Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time performance tracking including temperature, optical power, voltage, and bias current
- Duplex LC connector for standard single-mode fiber connections
- Low power consumption (typically under 10W) suitable for high-density deployments
- Integrated FEC and DSP gearbox for signal integrity and error correction
- EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Laser) transmitters for long-distance performance
- 2-wire serial interface (I2C/TWI) for management and configuration
- RoHS compliant and meets safety certifications (CE, FCC)
- Suitable for data center interconnect (DCI), campus backbone, and high-performance computing applications

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum transmission distance for the QDD-400G-LR4?
A: The QDD-400G-LR4 supports transmission distances up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber. While compliant with IEEE 802.3cu for 400GBASE-LR4-6km requirements, it extends reach to 10km. Actual distance depends on optical link budget, fiber quality, and connector losses.

Q: Is this transceiver compatible with other vendors' equipment?
A: Yes, the QDD-400G-LR4 follows industry-standard specifications including IEEE 802.3bs and QSFP-DD MSA, enabling interoperability with other vendors' 400G QSFP-DD ports and switches. The optical interface is vendor-agnostic when following the same standards.

Q: Can the QDD-400G-LR4 be used in breakout configurations?
A: The QDD-400G-LR4 is designed as a single 400G channel transceiver with four optical wavelengths multiplexed over duplex LC connectors. It does not support native breakout to lower-speed connections like 4x100G. For breakout applications, consider DR4, FR4, or SR8 variants with MPO connectors.

Q: What is the difference between QDD-400G-LR4 and QDD-400G-FR4?
A: The LR4 variant supports up to 10km reach over single-mode fiber, while the FR4 supports up to 2km. Both use four CWDM4 wavelengths and duplex LC connectors, but LR4 employs higher-power transmitters and more sensitive receivers for extended distance.

Q: Does this module require Forward Error Correction?
A: Yes, the QDD-400G-LR4 is designed to operate with host-side FEC (Forward Error Correction) to ensure reliable 400G transmission over 10km distances. The module is compliant with IEEE 802.3bs FEC requirements for 400GBASE-LR4.
