Product overview

200G QSFP56 SR4 is designed for 70m OM3 / 100m OM4 links using MPO-12. Selection must confirm the host form factor, electrical interface, PMD, FEC, fiber mapping, power and thermal limits, software version and the remote endpoint; the model name alone does not establish interoperability.

  • QSFP56 SR4 form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • MPO-12 interface for 70m OM3 / 100m OM4 links.

  • Parallel multimode optical transmission; confirm the exact fiber or cable assembly before ordering.

  • Validate host coding, FEC, diagnostics, power, thermal behavior and long-duration stability.

Selection and deployment notes

  • Before ordering 200G QSFP56 SR4, confirm the exact host, software, port mode, reach, fiber or cable, connector, FEC, temperature, quantity, compatibility coding and delivery version.

Selection FAQ

200G QSFP56 SR4 selection questions

How far will 200G QSFP56 SR4 run on OM3 versus OM4?

The specification lists 70m OM3 / 100m OM4. Multimode reach is bounded by modal bandwidth, so the fiber grade already in the ground decides the usable distance rather than the module. Re-check the loss budget whenever patch panels or splices sit in the path.

What has to match at the far end of 200G QSFP56 SR4?

The same PMD, the same fiber grade, and MPO-12 polarity and lane order. Parallel multimode links such as 200G QSFP56 SR4 fail in confusing ways when polarity is wrong: the port may show light without ever coming up, so verify the trunk type before troubleshooting the module.

What do I need to specify to request a quote for 200G QSFP56 SR4?

Give the host vendor, model and software version at both ends, the QSFP56 port or lane mode, the operating temperature range, the quantity per site and the target delivery date. For 200G QSFP56 SR4 also state the installed fiber grade, the MPO-12 trunk type and the measured link distance. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
