Cost-based active optical device QSFP-DD
As a leading form factor for 400ZR and 800ZR, QSFP-DD delivers cost-efficient, interoperable connectivity with extended reach and simplified deployments for metro, regional and DCI networks. QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density) transceivers double the number of high-speed electrical interfaces in QSFP to achieve 400G Ethernet speeds – and double them again to reach 800G. QSFP-DD pricing creates significant challenges for buyers due to the extreme opacity of the market. Standard procurement guides list endless catalog numbers without valuable context, overwhelming engineers with technical specifications while completely obscuring actual market costs. Cisco offers a comprehensive range of pluggable optical modules in the Cisco® pluggables portfolio. The wide variety of modules gives you flexible and cost-effective options for all types of interfaces. OIF 400ZR, Standard Tx output power (-10dBm), C-band tunable, Pull tab, 0°C to 70°C, LC receptacle. Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) in existing and emerging DWDM transport networks require a high optical launch power (0 dBm) and high transmit in-band and out-of-band optical.
