400G QSFP56-DD FR4—4×100G PAM4 CWDM4 @ ~1310 nm over LC-duplex, up to 2 km on OS2; 400GAUI-8 host, CMIS management, KP4 FEC—ideal for long-reach data-center and metro access links.
The 400G QSFP56-DD FR4 is a 400-Gigabit Ethernet single-mode transceiver for links up to 2 km. It transmits 4×100G PAM4 over CWDM4 wavelengths around 1310 nm on a duplex LC interface and presents an 8-lane 400GAUI-8 electrical host—ideal for spine/leaf fabrics, campus DCI, and metro access where longer reach and simple LC cabling are preferred.
