Information QSFP-DD offers top-of-the-line bandwidth density and the flexibility of backwards compatibility with lower-speed QSFP pluggable modules and cables,
Information The core difference between SFP and QSFP is lane count: SFP is a single-lane form factor (1G–25G), while QSFP aggregates 4 (or more) lanes to reach 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G (QSFP-DD). Choose
Information QSFP-DD can enable up to 14.4 Tbps aggregate bandwidth in a single switch slot. QSFP-DD electrical interfaces will employ eight lanes that operate up to 25 Gbps NRZ modulation or 50 Gbps PAM4
Information QSFP-DD cages are fully backwards compatible, providing an upgrade path from existing QSFP solutions - allowing an economical path to upgrade to 112G operations.
Information The QSFP-DD family supports legacy QSFP channels on the front interface and four additional channels on the rear interface. This interconnect system optimizes density and power
Information Custom 100G & 200G Solutions: QSFP28, QSFP56, QSFP-DD & CFP2 (Cloud, AI & DCI) Scaling hyperscale cloud facilities, AI computing clusters, and Data Center Interconnects (DCI) demands
Information QSFP-DD Interconnect System enables faceplate density equal to the current 2x1 QSFP form factor, but with 8-lane ports. In other words, a total of 256 differential pairs with 32 ports delivers double-lane
Information The cage and connector design provides backwards compatibility to QSFP28 modules which can be inserted into a QSFP DD port and connected to 4 of the 8 electrical channels. It is one of the
Information Find which switches support QSFP-DD modules. Our 2025 guide covers Cisco, Arista, Juniper and NVIDIA platforms with backward compatibility tips.
