Product description

Generic 400GBASE-FR4 QSFP112 Ethernet optical transceiver — single-mode, 1310 nm, 2 km, duplex LC/UPC, DOM.

This generic QSFP112 transceiver is a 400Gb/s single-port QSFP112 FR4 single-mode parallel module with a single 4-channel duplex LC/UPC fiber interface. The 4-channel (FR4) design uses 100G-PAM4 modulation and reaches up to 2000 m over OS2 single-mode LC fiber.

The QSFP112 transceiver can be used in QSFP112/QSFP-DD switches and Ethernet adapters. With low latency, low power consumption and high reliability, it uplinks to 800G Ethernet switches in spine-leaf fabrics and interoperates with 400G QSFP-DD or OSFP FR4 for diverse applications.

An ideal solution for supercomputing, it integrates seamlessly into compute and storage infrastructure for efficient high-performance interconnect.

Product highlights

  • Integrated low-power DSP for stable performance at scale
  • Optimized power budget, max power consumption 10W
  • Compliant with QSFP-112 MSA and IEEE802.3cu standards
  • Backward compatible with existing QSFP form-factor ports
  • Tested on live switch / NIC platforms to ensure performance, quality and reliability

Applications

  • AI data center & GPU cluster interconnect
  • Spine-leaf switching fabric
  • Data center interconnect (DCI) and campus links
  • Hyperscale, cloud and high-performance computing networks

Supply & compliance FAQ

How do the proposed FCC rules on optical transceivers affect availability?

The FCC rulemaking reported in August 2026 is still a draft. As reported, it would apply to new model authorizations, while models already deployed and shipping would continue to be supplied. Current PhoScale shipments are unaffected, and we hold inventory in our US warehouse. We track the rulemaking closely and publish updates on our Insights page.

Can you provide compliance documentation for your transceivers?

Yes. Every SKU ships with per-unit test reports, and compliance documentation (FCC, FDA laser, RoHS) is available on request as part of our ongoing compliance program.

How do you protect buyers against supply-chain disruption?

Three ways: US-warehouse stock for immediate needs, multi-source manufacturing across tier-one Asian production partners, and allocation planning for project and annual-supply customers. See our Supply Assurance page for details.

What lead times should we plan for on 800G and 1.6T optics?

In-stock models ship from our US warehouse immediately. For volume orders, typical lead times are 2–6 weeks depending on model and quantity — submit an RFQ for a confirmed date against current allocation.
