Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
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.
Before commissioning, measure the complete single-mode channel against the stated budget for 2km. Inspect every Duplex LC/UPC connection and record diagnostic power where supported. Both ends must agree on rate, wavelength and optical standard.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -4.2~4.7dBm; the stated optical power budget is 4dB. 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.
Procurement and Asset Identification
A useful purchase order identifies the host platform, expected OEM code and optical standard separately. This prevents a module with the same housing but another wavelength, reach or identification profile from being substituted. For mixed deployments, keep one order line per OEM reference and reconcile each received unit with its intended port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 200Gbps (4x50Gbps), wavelength 1271nm, 1291nm, 1311nm and 1331nm, rated reach 2km.
H3C Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as QSFP56-200G-FR4-WDM1300, 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.
Ordering Information
Use QSFP56-200G-FR4-WDM1300 as the compatibility cross-reference and QSFP-FR4-200G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original H3C transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies QSFP56-200G-FR4-WDM1300, not an original H3C-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC/UPC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 2km, 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.
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.
