Project Documentation and Traceability
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, optical standard and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and the HT part number on the packing list. Labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers need not identify modules by appearance. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 200Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 70m on OM3 / 100m on OM4.
Broadcom Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as QSFP-SR4-200G, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Applications and Optical Link Design
This coherent interface is suited to data-center interconnect, metro transport and managed DWDM links where the host platform supports the stated modulation and FEC modes. Design the optical line around the actual launch power, receiver range, OSNR requirement and span loss; the stated reach is not a substitute for a link-budget calculation. Use matching coherent modules and the appropriate DWDM channel plan at both ends.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 200G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a QSFP56 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
For this coherent interface, document the wavelength plan and modulation or FEC settings before commissioning. Measure span loss and verify adequate OSNR. Interoperability depends on compatible coherent modes as well as form factor, so another coherent part number must not be substituted without engineering review.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -3~3dBm; the stated optical power budget is 3.5dBm. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Broadcom transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QSFP-SR4-200G, not an original Broadcom-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use MPO-12/UPC with MMF. The specified maximum reach is 70m on OM3 / 100m on OM4, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Ordering Information
Quote HT part number QSFP-SR4-200G together with OEM reference QSFP-SR4-200G and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
