The Arista QDD-400G-FR4 is a QSFP-DD 400GBASE-FR4 module from Arista Networks for 400 Gbps links. It plugs into a QSFP-DD port on an Arista switch and is used for 400G spine and super-spine fabrics, AI/ML clusters, 4 × 100G breakout and data-centre interconnect.

Arista specifies the QDD-400G-FR4 for 2 km on duplex single-mode fiber.

Per Arista's published optics data sheet, the QDD-400G-FR4 transmits −3.3 to +3.5 dBm/lane and receives −7.3 to +3.5 dBm/lane.

The QDD-400G-FR4 uses a Duplex LC connector on duplex single-mode (G.652), at 1271–1331 nm (4 lambda CWDM). Both ends of the link must use the same optical standard.

It works in Arista switches with QSFP-DD ports that support this optic. Send us your switch model and EOS version and we will check it against Arista's Transceiver and Cable Guide before dispatch, so you only receive a module that works in your port.

It depends only on your switch port. OSFP ports need OSFP optics and QSFP-DD ports need QSFP-DD optics; they are not mechanically interchangeable. If both ends run the same optical standard (e.g. DR4 to DR4), an OSFP module and a QSFP-DD module interoperate over the fibre.

Yes. Next Gen Networks supplies original Arista Networks optics, not third-party lookalikes or grey-market stock. Every unit is checked before dispatch, and we share the serial numbers on request so you can verify them in EOS ('show inventory').

The Arista QDD-400G-FR4 price in India depends on quantity, delivery city and current stock.
