Article Overview

QSFP-DD switches for 400G/800G data center interconnects range from $1,400 per module for short-reach SR8 optics to over $130,000 for long-haul coherent ZR+ modules, with switch chassis pricing varying by port density and vendor.

QSFP-DD Module Pricing

  • Short-Reach (SR8) Modules: Ideal for in-rack or cross-row connections, priced between $1,400 and $1,800 from reputable third-party vendors .
  • Medium-Reach (DR4/FR4) Modules: Used for inter-row or campus links, prices are competitive due to third-party availability, generally $2,000–$5,000 depending on vendor and volume .
  • Long-Reach (LR4, ZR, ZR+) Modules: For wide-area DCI, OEM LR4 modules can exceed $10,000, while coherent ZR/ZR+ modules may reach $130,000 per unit . Third-party alternatives can offer significant savings.

QSFP-DD Switch Pricing

  • Edgecore DCS Series:
    • DCS240: 32 QSFP56-DD ports, supports 100/400 GbE spine interconnects. Pricing varies by quantity and configuration .
    • DCS520: 64 QSFP56-DD ports, high-performance spine switch, ONIE-compatible for NOS installation .
    • DCS510: 32 QSFP-DD ports, line-rate L2/L3 switching, suitable for spine or leaf deployment .
  • UfiSpace S9300/S9301 Series: High-performance white box switches for data center networking, pricing depends on port count and service capacity .
  • Cisco QSFP-DD Chassis:
    • Cisco 8201/8202: 24–12x400GE QSFP56-DD ports plus 100GE QSFP28 ports, pricing available via Cisco Global Price List .
    • NCS Series: NCS1004, NCS2K, and NCS560 modules with QSFP-DD interfaces, suitable for DCI deployments .

Considerations for Procurement

  • Port Density: Options range from 32 to 64 QSFP-DD ports per chassis, affecting total cost.
  • Module Type: SR8 for short distances, DR4/FR4 for medium, LR4/ZR/ZR+ for long-haul DCI.
  • OEM vs Third-Party: Third-party modules can reduce costs significantly, especially for coherent optics.
  • Volume Discounts: Many vendors offer tiered pricing for bulk purchases, which can lower TCO.
  • TCO Analysis: Consider module lifespan, power consumption, and interoperability when budgeting for large-scale deployments . For accurate pricing, it is recommended to request vendor quotes based on your specific port count, module type, and deployment distance, as costs vary widely depending on these factors.
