In 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the Cisco Compatible 400G QSFP-DD QDD ER8 Optical Transceiver delivers 425Gbps transmission over SMF with a reach of 40km. The Duplex LC/UPC interface and 1310nm optics match the standard cabling plant used in modern data halls, so existing trunks can be reused. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 8x50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA Compliant. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
To order, quote QDD-ER8-400G together with your quantity. Stock items ship quickly; for OEM orders we support custom labels, retail packing and vendor-specific coding, all handled in our own factory.
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
