GIGALIGHT Launches 400G QSFP-DD ER4-30km Optical Module with Live Demonstration at ECOC 2025

September 23, 2025, Shenzhen, China. – GIGALIGHT will showcase a live demonstration of its latest 400G QSFP-DD ER4-30km optical module at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2025. Designed with narrow LAN-WDM wavelengths, the module provides data center customers and 5G network operators with a cost-effective, long-reach end-to-end transmission solution.

400G-QSFP-DD-ER4
  • Supports dual-fiber transmission up to 30km
  • Average launch power of up to +3dBm per lane
  • TDECQ as low as 2.28dB
  • Receiver OMA sensitivity better than –12.5dBm per lane
  • Power consumption below 13W
400G QSFP-DD ER4-30KM
  • The module successfully achieved 30km dual-fiber transmission with KP4 FEC, completing a 24-hour loopback test on 400GE traffic generators with zero packet loss.
  • Demonstrations confirmed its low power consumption (<13W) and exceptional receiver sensitivity (better than –12.5dBm per lane).

The module leverages APD receiver technology and low-dispersion wavelength emission to ensure stable, reliable, and high-speed transmission across long-distance links in diverse application scenarios. Consistent with GIGALIGHT’s 400G FR4 and LR4 products, it adopts a semi-hermetic laser packaging design that further enhances long-term reliability.

Visit GIGALIGHT at Booth C1321 to explore the company’s latest innovations in optical interconnect technology and experience the 400G QSFP-DD ER4-30km module in action.
