QSFP56
Quad 50 Gigabits Small Form-factor Pluggable
QSFP56 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 56) is an advanced optical transceiver module designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data center applications. It represents the evolution of QSFP28, offering increased data rates of up to 200 Gbps per channel or 800 Gbps aggregate throughput with four channels. QSFP56 modules support various communication protocols such as Ethernet, InfiniBand, and Fibre Channel, making them versatile for diverse networking needs. With its compact form factor, hot-pluggable design, and advanced thermal management features, QSFP56 facilitates high-density and reliable connectivity solutions for modern high-performance computing environments.
QSFP56 Media Types
200GBase-SR4
The QSFP56 SR4 is a short-range transceiver for use over parallel multimode fiber. Utilizing 4 optical pairs of 855nm/908nm, each optical channel operates at 50Gb/s PAM4, resulting in a total of 8 fiber (4x Tx and 4x Rx). This transceiver can be used to connect to single 200G, Dual 100G, or 4x SFP 25G/50G applications.

Optical Transceiver Standards & Compliance
Never Sourced. Never Recycled.
All components in GigaTech Product optics are manufactured under the same roof and represent the gold standard for reliability and consistency in performance. This vertical manufacture chain allows GigaTech to avoid unnecessary variances in transceiver casing or laser quality often found with online resellers who source their components from an ever changing vendor list. The transceiver is guaranteed to be built from A-Stock never used components overseen by GigaTech Products,
Rigorous Testing & Standards Compliance
The quality and standards of our hardware is one the base foundations of GigaTech Products. All of our components comply with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) output standards and, in many cases, excel beyond those certification standards. Every transceiver we produce is tested on active network devices to ensure they comply with OEM equipment and are verified to be plug-and-play and do not require work arounds.
