The QDD-400G-DR4-FL is a 400Gb/s Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable-double density (QSFP56-DD) optical module designed for 500m optical communication applications. The module converts 8 channels of 50Gb/s (PAM4) electrical input data to 4 channels of parallel optical signals, each capable of 100Gb/s operation for an aggregate data rate of 400Gb/s. Reversely, on the receiver side, the module converts 4 channels of parallel optical signals of 100Gb/s each channel for an aggregate data rate of 400Gb/s into 8 channels of 50Gb/s (PAM4) electrical output data.

The optical port is an MPO-12 APC receptacle carrying 4 transmit and 4 receive single-mode fibers. Proper alignment is ensured by the guide pins inside the receptacle; the cable should not be twisted, to keep channel-to-channel alignment.
Operation in excess of any individual absolute maximum rating may cause permanent damage to the module.
