Cisco QDD-400G-LR8-S 400GBASE-LR8 QSFP-DD Transceiver Module 10km SMF Duplex LC
The Cisco QDD-400G-LR8-S (Part No. 10-3441-01) is a high-performance 400GBASE-LR8 QSFP-DD optical transceiver, designed for Cisco next-generation high-density switches and routers. It adopts 8×50Gbps PAM4 technology based on LAN-WDM wavelength scheme, multiplexed onto a single pair of single-mode fibers to achieve 400Gbps transmission up to 10km. Equipped with a standard LC duplex connector, it complies with IEEE 802.3cu and OIF standards. Factory-calibrated by Cisco, it provides reliable 400G long-reach transmission for data center spine-leaf fabrics, enterprise backbones, and metro aggregation networks.

Product Highlights
1.Massive 400G Throughput for Next-Gen Bandwidth Capacity - Leverages an advanced 8x 50G PAM4 modulation architecture to deliver up to 400Gbps of aggregate throughput on a single interface. It effectively quadruples the bandwidth capacity of standard 100G links to tackle heavy data traffic seamlessly.
2.10km Long-Reach Capability for Metro and Core Backbones
- Driven by high-performance LAN-WDM lasers, this transceiver is optimized for reliable data transport up to 10 km over standard Single-Mode Fiber (SMF). It serves as the ideal solution for Data Center Interconnects (DCI) and enterprise backbone rings.
3.Backward-Compatible QSFP-DD Footprint for Seamless Aggregation
- The industry-standard QSFP-DD form factor maximizes front-panel port density while offering excellent backward compatibility with existing QSFP packages (e.g., QSFP28). This allows operators to scale their networks efficiently without sacrificing legacy investments.
4.Precision LAN-WDM Optical Design & Native DOM Support
- Multiplexes 8 precision-spaced LAN-WDM wavelengths on a single fiber pair to minimize optical dispersion over 10km long hauls. Backed by full Cisco Part Number (10-3441-01) integration, it features complete Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for real-time proactive tracking of Tx/Rx power and temperature.
