FAQ
The 400G QSFP112 LR4 Optical Transceiver Module is a high-performance long-reach optical solution designed for 400Gbps Ethernet transmission over single-mode fiber. Based on the 400GBASE-LR4 architecture, the module uses four CWDM optical wavelengths with PAM4 modulation to deliver reliable high-speed connectivity over distances up to 10km. Integrated CWDM EML transmitters and PIN receivers provide excellent optical performance, while the Duplex LC interface enables simple integration with existing SMF cabling infrastructure.
Designed in the QSFP112 form factor, this transceiver supports next-generation high-density 400G networking platforms with improved thermal efficiency and power management. It features a 400GAUI-8 electrical interface, integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), and FEC support to enhance transmission reliability. Compliant with QSFP112 MSA and IEEE 802.3bs standards, it is optimized for hyperscale data centers, AI networks, enterprise backbone systems, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and high-bandwidth optical transport applications.

What is the difference between 400G QSFP112 LR4 and FR4 modules?
The main difference is transmission distance and optical performance requirements. QSFP112 FR4 is designed for shorter links up to around 2km using CWDM technology, while LR4 extends the transmission distance to approximately 10km by using enhanced optical components and long-reach designs.
What fiber type is required for the 400G QSFP112 LR4 module?
This transceiver requires single-mode fiber (SMF), typically G.652 fiber. The Duplex LC interface allows direct connection to commonly deployed single-mode fiber cabling in data centers and enterprise networks.
Why does the LR4 module use CWDM wavelengths?
CWDM wavelength multiplexing allows four optical channels to be transmitted through a single fiber pair, reducing fiber requirements while enabling high-capacity 400G transmission over longer distances.
What role does FEC play in this 400G optical module?
Forward Error Correction (FEC) improves transmission reliability by detecting and correcting certain signal errors during communication. It helps maintain stable operation for high-speed optical links, especially in longer-distance deployments.
What is the advantage of the QSFP112 form factor for 400G networks?
QSFP112 is designed specifically for high-speed Ethernet applications requiring higher electrical bandwidth. It provides improved port density and efficient thermal management, making it suitable for next-generation 400G switches and networking equipment.
