200G QSFP112 SR4 VR2 Core Technology and Standards
This optical module complies with IEEE 802.3db and IEEE 802.3ck standards for
200GBASE-VR2 applications. It uses PAM4 modulation at 53.125 GBd
per lane and supports CMIS 4.0 for advanced management. The design
ensures compatibility with QSFP112 MSA specifications.
200G QSFP112 SR4 VR2 Operating Principle
The transceiver converts electrical signals into optical signals
using 850nm VCSEL lasers. Each of the two independent lanes
transmits PAM4-modulated light over multimode fiber. The receiver
side uses a PIN photodiode to convert incoming optical signals back
into electrical data, enabling bidirectional 200G communication.
200G QSFP112 SR4 VR2 Typical Applications
Ideal for short-reach interconnects in data centers,
high-performance computing (HPC), and enterprise networking
environments. Commonly deployed in:
- Top-of-rack (ToR) switch connections.
- Data center spine-leaf architecture.
- Server aggregation and network storage.
- AI cluster and cloud infrastructure.

Competitive Advantages
Compared to previous generations like QSFP28, this optical transceiver module offers higher density and lower power per bit. It provides a
cost-effective migration path to 200G without requiring
infrastructure changes. The 800g osfp alternatives typically target longer reaches but at higher power
and cost, making this VR2 module optimal for budget-conscious,
high-density short-reach deployments:cite[1].
