H3C QDD-DR4-400G Compatible 400G QSFP-DD DR4 Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing QDD-DR4-400G, this HT-manufactured QSFP-DD module delivers 400G transmission at 1310nm. Its rated reach is 500m, with MPO-12/APC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support mixed-vendor networks document the correct compatibility identity at each host, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
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 single-mode link budget should include fiber attenuation, connectors, splices and panels over the intended 500m route. Keep the MPO-12/APC interface clean and match the remote optical standard. Consider receiver overload as well as insufficient power on short links.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -2.9~4.0dBm; the stated optical power budget is 3dB. 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.
Mixed-Vendor Network Operation
A mixed-vendor optical link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether both ends use the same wavelength plan and optical standard. Related links locate equivalent hardware, but brand-specific identification must still be selected independently. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 425Gbps (4x106.25Gb/s), wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 500m.
H3C Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for QDD-DR4-400G 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.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify QDD-DR4-400G, QDD-DR4-400G-SI, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each QDD-DR4-400G compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original H3C transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QDD-DR4-400G, not an original H3C-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use MPO-12/APC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 500m, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
