HPE Aruba 200G LR4 QSFP56 – QSFP56 LR4 Optical Transceiver

About HPE Aruba 200G LR4 QSFP56 Optical Transceiver in Bangladesh

The HPE Aruba 200G LR4 QSFP56 is a 200Gbps-class optical transceiver designed for long-reach Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber. Using the compact QSFP56 form factor and LR4 optical architecture, it is intended for high-bandwidth network links that require greater reach than short-reach multimode SR4 optics.

A 200G LR4 architecture typically uses four optical wavelengths around the 1310nm band, with each wavelength carrying 50Gbps using PAM4 modulation. The optical signals are multiplexed onto a duplex single-mode fiber connection, providing a practical solution for longer-distance 200GbE connectivity.

The duplex LC interface makes an LR4-class optic suitable for existing single-mode fiber infrastructure. Typical applications include data center interconnects, switch-to-switch links, enterprise network aggregation, campus backbone connectivity, and other 200GbE links where multimode SR4 reach is insufficient.

HPE Aruba 200G LR4 QSFP56 Optical Transceiver Specifications & Overview

Overview

The HPE Aruba-compatible 200G LR4 QSFP56 transceiver provides high-speed 200Gbps optical connectivity through a QSFP56 interface. It is intended for applications where high bandwidth must be transported over single-mode fiber across longer distances.

The LR4 architecture uses four optical channels operating at approximately 1310nm. Each channel carries 50Gbps PAM4, producing an aggregate 200Gbps data rate. Wavelength multiplexing allows the four optical channels to operate over a standard duplex single-mode fiber connection.

Compared with 200G SR4 optics, which use 850nm multimode fiber and a parallel MPO connector, an LR4-class solution uses single-mode fiber and duplex LC connectivity. This makes it more suitable for longer links and existing single-mode fiber infrastructure.

For deployments requiring exact HPE Aruba compatibility, the host switch, software version, supported transceiver list, optical coding, power requirements, and vendor-specific SKU should be verified before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the data rate of a 200G LR4 QSFP56 transceiver?
A 200G LR4 QSFP56 transceiver is designed for an aggregate 200Gbps Ethernet data rate.

Q2: What does LR4 mean?
LR4 refers to a long-reach optical architecture using four optical channels. In a 200G implementation, each channel carries approximately 50Gbps using PAM4.

Q3: What form factor does the 200G LR4 use?
The requested product uses the QSFP56 form factor.

Q4: What type of fiber does 200G LR4 use?
LR4 is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF).

Q5: What wavelength does 200G LR4 use?
A 200G LR4 architecture operates in the 1310nm-class optical band using multiple wavelength channels.

Q6: What connector does a 200G LR4 QSFP56 use?
An LR4 implementation typically uses a duplex LC optical connector.

Q7: What is the difference between 200G SR4 and 200G LR4?
200G SR4 uses 850nm multimode optics with parallel-fiber connectivity for short-reach links, while 200G LR4 uses 1310nm-class wavelength-multiplexed optics over single-mode fiber for longer-distance connectivity.

Q8: Is 200G LR4 suitable for data center interconnects?
Yes. Its single-mode fiber architecture and long-reach design make LR4 suitable for data center interconnects and other longer 200GbE network links.

Q9: Can this optic be installed in any QSFP56 port?
No. The host platform must support the specific optical standard, transceiver coding, power requirements, firmware, and vendor compatibility.

Q10: Is there an official HPE Aruba SKU for 200G LR4 QSFP56?
HPE Aruba's current public documentation does not list a 200G LR4 QSFP56 transceiver. Its documented 200G QSFP56 options include SR4 and LC CWDM4 FR4, among others. Verify the exact SKU before ordering.
