The Arista QDD-400G-XDR4-C is a QSFP-DD 400GBASE-XDR4, channelized 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-XDR4-C for 2 km on parallel single-mode fiber, with 2 × 200G channelized support.

Per Arista's published optics data sheet, the QDD-400G-XDR4-C transmits −2.4 to +4.0 dBm/lane and receives −6.4 to +4.5 dBm/lane.

The QDD-400G-XDR4-C uses a MPO-12 APC connector on parallel single-mode (G.652), at 1310 nm. APC connectors have an angled (green) end-face, so use APC patch cords and trunks. 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.

Both reach 2 km on parallel single-mode. The -C variant is channelized and adds 2 × 200G support in addition to 4 × 100G-FR breakout.

Yes. Arista lists breakout to 2 × 200G or 4 × 100G-FR. Use the matching optics at the far end and a suitable breakout cable or patch panel.

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').
