FAQ About 400G QSFP-DD SR4 Optical Transceiver

What is the compatibility and interoperability of 400G QSFP-DD SR4 Optical Transceiver?

Fibrecross 400G QSFP-DD SR4 Optical transceivers are rigorously tested for compatibility with major switch and router brands, including Cisco®, Arista®, Juniper®, HPE®, and Dell EMC®. Compliant with IEEE 802.3bs and CMIS standards, they ensure plug-and-play operation across multi-vendor networks.

What is the difference between QSFP-DD SR4 and QSFP56 SR4?

QSFP-DD (Double Density) provides 8 electrical lanes at 50 Gbps each (total 400 Gbps), while QSFP56 uses 4 lanes at 100 Gbps each. QSFP-DD modules double port density compared to QSFP56.

How to verify 400G QSFP-DD SR4 compatibility with Cisco and Arista switches?

To ensure plug-and-play interoperability, confirm that your switch firmware supports IEEE 802.3bs and CMIS. Fibrecross QSFP-DD SR4 modules undergo interoperability testing with Cisco Nexus, Arista 7060, and other leading switch platforms.

What is the maximum reach of a 400G QSFP-DD SR4 multimode fiber module on OM3 vs. OM4?

The 400G QSFP-DD SR4 supports up to 70 m over OM3 and up to 100 m over OM4 multimode fiber, making it a versatile short-reach solution for ToR uplinks and spine-leaf fabrics.

How to clean and maintain MPO-16 connectors on 400G QSFP-DD SR4 optical transceivers?

Always use an MPO-16–specific cleaning tool and a lint-free wipe with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Regular cleaning of the connector endface prevents insertion loss and maintains optimal performance of your 400G SR4 fiber links.

Can I use 400G QSFP-DD SR4 transceivers in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters?

Yes. The low-latency, high-throughput design of our 400G QSFP-DD SR4 transceiver makes it ideal for HPC cluster interconnects, AI/ML training nodes, and other compute-intensive applications requiring reliable short-reach optics.
