What is the difference between 400G QSFP112 FR4 and DR4 modules?

The main difference is the optical transmission method and connector interface. DR4 uses four parallel 1310nm optical lanes with an MPO-12 connector for up to 500m transmission, while FR4 uses four CWDM wavelengths combined through wavelength multiplexing with a Duplex LC interface to achieve longer transmission distances up to 2km.

What fiber type is required for the 400G QSFP112 FR4 module?

This transceiver is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF), typically G.652 fiber. The Duplex LC interface allows direct integration with existing single-mode fiber cabling systems widely deployed in data centers and enterprise networks.

Why does the FR4 module use CWDM technology?

CWDM technology allows multiple optical wavelengths to be transmitted over a single fiber pair, reducing fiber requirements while enabling longer-distance transmission. This makes FR4 modules suitable for scalable 400G Ethernet deployments where fiber efficiency is important.

What are the advantages of QSFP112 Type 2A?

QSFP112 Type 2A provides a compact high-speed pluggable interface designed for 400G networking applications. It supports high electrical bandwidth density while improving thermal efficiency and power management compared with previous-generation form factors.

Does this module support digital monitoring?

Yes. The QSFP112 FR4 module supports management and monitoring functions through its host interface, allowing compatible equipment to monitor operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical performance.
