Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The MPO-12/APC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 400G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP-DD housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 30m on OM3 / 50m on OM4 reach. Keep the MPO-12/APC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -4.6~4dBm; the stated optical power budget is 1.8dB. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

Data-Center Optical Design and Airflow

Select the module by optical standard, reach and rack layout. Check the complete fiber channel, including panels and connectors, and keep dense bundles from blocking front-panel airflow. Account for listed power consumption and preserve enough space to remove a module without disturbing adjacent links. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 400Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 30m on OM3 / 50m on OM4.

Ordering Information

Use QDD-SR4-400G as the compatibility cross-reference and QDD-SR4-400G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for QDD-SR4-400G combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
