Description
The AddOn Cisco® QDD-400G-SR4.2-BD-AO is a high-performance QSFP-DD transceiver that delivers 400GBase-BX SR4.2 PAM4 throughput over multi-mode fiber (MMF) for distances up to 100 m. Operating across wavelengths from 850 nm to 902 nm, this transceiver uses VCSEL and PD array technology and features an MPO-12 connector for seamless high-density connectivity.
Engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, it is 100% compatible with Cisco® equipment and is fully hot-pluggable for simple installation. Support for Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) allows real-time diagnostics of key parameters, while CMIS 4.0 compliance ensures interoperability in modern high-speed data center, enterprise, and access network environments. This module also supports 4×100G breakout functionality, making it an ideal choice for scalable, high-bandwidth architectures. Built to the highest quality standards, it is RoHS compliant, lead-free, TAA compliant, and backed by AddOn’s limited lifetime warranty.
