FEC on 400G is required and expected. As long as it is “corrected”, you have nothing to worry about. We had the same realisation recenty when upgrading to 400G.

Subject: constant FEC errors juniper mpc10e 400g
We recently added MPC10E-15C-MRATE cards to our MX960's to upgrade our core to 400g. During initial testing of the 400g interface (400GBASE-FR4), I see constant FEC errors. FEC is new to me. Anyone know why this is occurring? Shown below, is an interface with no traffic, but seeing constant FEC errors. This is (2) MX960's cabled directly, no dwdm or anything between them... just a fiber patch cable.
