Description
The Tripp Lite N286-400G-SR8-G is a high-performance QSFP-DD 400GBASE-SR8 fiber optic transceiver designed for ultra-high-speed data center and enterprise network environments. Delivering 400 Gbps throughput over multimode fiber, it enables reliable short-reach connectivity between switches, routers, and servers.
Operating at an 850 nm wavelength with a 16-strand MPO/APC connector, this transceiver supports transmission distances of up to 100 meters, making it ideal for high-density rack deployments and spine-leaf architectures. The hot-swappable QSFP-DD interface allows installation or replacement without network interruption, minimizing downtime in mission-critical environments.
Built with a durable zinc alloy housing, the N286-400G-SR8-G offers enhanced EMI protection and thermal performance. It is MSA-compliant, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of 400GBASE-SR8 platforms, and supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time visibility into temperature, voltage, and optical power levels.
