Custom 200GBASE-SR4 QSFP56 Module

Product Description

Hyper-scale artificial intelligence clusters require relentless data pipelines. The Custom 200GBASE-SR4 module answers this demand by injecting four independent 53.125Gbps signal streams through an MTP/MPO-12 interface. By relying on a highly efficient 850nm VCSEL array, this 200g qsfp component ensures reliable short-reach aggregation. Procured directly from WolonFiber's assembly lines, network operators receive a carrier-tested 200g transceiver equipped with onboard DSPs to actively mitigate the strict signal-to-noise penalties associated with PAM4 encoding.

Key Features

• Native Splitting: Effortlessly executes 1x200G to 4x50G hardware breakouts using standard MPO-to-4xLC harness cables for dense edge-server patching.

• Thermal Throttling Containment: Total module power draw is aggressively suppressed below 5.0W to protect tightly packed rack configurations from thermal overload.

• Real-Time DDM: A high-speed I2C bus provides administrators with precise digital diagnostic monitoring over voltage, temperature, and laser bias currents.

Application Scenarios

• Direct InfiniBand HDR interconnects within machine learning and supercomputing matrices.

• 200GbE enterprise data center upgrades utilizing existing parallel multimode fiber trunks.

Technical Specifications

Engineering FAQs

• Q: Why does a 200G PAM4 optical link require Forward Error Correction (FEC)?

  A: PAM4 transmits four distinct voltage levels per cycle rather than the two levels used in older NRZ modules. This tighter electrical spacing severely reduces the signal-to-noise ratio. KP4 FEC is mathematically required to correct the inherent bit errors before they impact the network payload.

• Q: Is this qsfp56 module backward compatible with 100G QSFP28 ports?

  A: No. Although the physical metal casing is identical, a legacy 100G port lacks the electrical ASIC capacity to process 50G PAM4 lanes.

• Q: Does WolonFiber support custom coding for proprietary hardware?

  A: Yes. We specialize in EEPROM configuration, ensuring this 200g transceiver bypasses OEM vendor-lock restrictions on enterprise switches.

• Q: Can an APC polished MPO patch cord be used here?

  A: Absolutely not. This multimode optic requires a PC/UPC flat polish. Forcing an angled (APC) connector into the receptacle will crush the optical lenses.
