Description

The Arista QSFP-200G-FR4 is a 200GBASE-FR4 QSFP56 optical transceiver designed for high-density data centre and enterprise core interconnects. Supporting dual-rate operation at both 200G and 100G, it delivers flexible deployment across spine-leaf fabrics and inter-rack links over duplex single-mode fibre at reaches up to 2km. The FR4 variant uses four lanes of 50G PAM4 modulation over an LC duplex connector, making it well-suited for structured cabling environments where existing SMF infrastructure is already in place.

Compatible with Arista 7000 Series switches and other 200G QSFP56-capable platforms, this transceiver supports seamless integration into modern disaggregated network architectures. The 200G/100G dual-rate capability future-proofs deployments as networks scale, reducing the need for immediate hardware refresh.

FAQs

Q: What fibre type and connector does the QSFP-200G-FR4 require?
A: This transceiver uses duplex single-mode fibre (SMF) with an LC duplex connector. It is not compatible with multimode fibre. Ensure your patch infrastructure uses OS2 single-mode cabling for reliable operation up to 2km.

Q: Does the QSFP-200G-FR4 support both 200G and 100G operation?
A: Yes. This is a dual-rate transceiver capable of operating at either 200G or 100G, allowing flexible deployment in mixed-speed environments and enabling staged upgrades without replacing optics.

Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with this transceiver?
A: The QSFP-200G-FR4 is designed for use in Arista 7000 Series platforms with QSFP56 port support, including data centre spine and leaf switches. Always verify port compatibility with your specific Arista EOS version and hardware model.

Q: What is the maximum transmission distance of the QSFP-200G-FR4?
A: The QSFP-200G-FR4 supports reaches up to 2km over duplex single-mode fibre, making it ideal for intra-campus or inter-building links within structured cabling environments.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista QSFP-200G-FR4 in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller and you can order the QSFP-200G-FR4 directly at iptrading.com.au. The team provides expert pre-sales support to confirm compatibility with your existing infrastructure.

Q: Is this transceiver suitable for use in spine-leaf data centre architectures?
A: Absolutely. The 200GBASE-FR4 standard and 2km reach make this transceiver well-suited for spine-leaf interconnects, top-of-rack to aggregation links, and inter-pod connectivity in modern data centre deployments.
