FAQ
The 400G QSFP112 SR4 Optical Transceiver Module is a high-speed short-reach optical solution designed for 400Gbps Ethernet connectivity in modern data center environments. Supporting transmission distances up to 100 meters over OM4 and OM5 multimode fiber, the module uses four independent 100Gb/s PAM4 optical channels with 850nm VCSEL technology to provide reliable, high-bandwidth communication. The MPO-12 APC optical interface enables efficient parallel fiber transmission and simplified deployment in high-density structured cabling systems.
Built in the QSFP112 hot-pluggable form factor, this transceiver delivers high port density and optimized power efficiency for next-generation networking platforms. It supports integrated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), a 4 × 106.25Gb/s PAM4 electrical interface, and low power consumption of ≤10W. Designed for cloud data centers, AI clusters, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments, it provides a cost-effective solution for short-distance 400G optical interconnects.

What fiber type is required for the 400G QSFP112 SR4 module?
The QSFP112 SR4 transceiver is designed for multimode fiber (MMF), supporting OM4 and OM5 fiber cabling. OM4 or higher-grade multimode fiber is recommended to achieve optimal performance and the maximum 100-meter transmission distance.
What is the difference between QSFP112 SR4 and DR4 optical modules?
The main difference is the fiber type and transmission distance. SR4 uses 850nm VCSEL technology over multimode fiber for short-distance links up to 100m, while DR4 uses 1310nm optical technology over single-mode fiber for longer transmission distances up to approximately 500m.
Why does the module use an MPO-12 APC connector?
The MPO-12 APC connector provides a compact multi-fiber interface for four-channel parallel optical transmission. The APC end face design helps reduce optical reflection and improves signal stability in high-performance optical networks.
What are the advantages of VCSEL technology in 400G SR4 applications?
850nm VCSEL technology offers excellent efficiency, low power consumption, and cost advantages for short-distance multimode fiber transmission. It is widely used in data centers where high-density, low-latency optical connectivity is required.
Does the QSFP112 SR4 support digital diagnostics?
Yes. The module integrates Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), allowing compatible network equipment to monitor key operating parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels.
