NVIDIA/Mellanox MMA4Z00-NS-FLT Compatible 800G 2xSR4 OSFP Flat Top 850nm 50m NDR Transceiver

The NVIDIA/Mellanox MMA4Z00-NS-FLT (980-9I51A-00NS00) Compatible 800G 2xSR4 OSFP Optical Transceiver Module is a high-performance Twin-Port optical solution designed for InfiniBand NDR and compatible 800G data center networking applications. Featuring Broadcom DSP and Broadcom VCSEL technology, this module delivers an aggregate bandwidth of 800Gb/s through eight 100G PAM4 lanes. It operates at an 850nm wavelength and supports transmission distances of up to 30m over OM3 multimode fiber and 50m over OM4 multimode fiber.

The 800G Twin-Port 2xSR4 architecture integrates two independent 400G SR4 optical interfaces into a single OSFP module. Each 400G interface uses four 100G PAM4 optical lanes and a dedicated MPO-12/APC connector. This configuration provides two separate 400G multimode links, enabling flexible connectivity for high-bandwidth InfiniBand NDR networks. Both optical interfaces can operate independently when supported by the host platform, allowing the module to support different network topologies and port configurations.

Built with Broadcom DSP and Broadcom VCSEL components, the module supports high-speed PAM4 signal processing and short-reach multimode optical transmission. Its 850nm optical interface supports distances of up to 30m over OM3 and 50m over OM4 multimode fiber. Two MPO-12/APC connectors provide the optical interfaces for the independent 400G links. For reliable operation, use compatible MPO-12/APC multimode fiber assemblies and verify connector polarity and fiber mapping. Breakout applications require suitable MPO-to-MPO breakout cables and host-side support for the corresponding lane configuration.

The OSFP RHS/Flat Top housing features a low-profile upper surface designed for host systems with specific mechanical clearance and cooling requirements. Unlike Finned Top OSFP modules, which use external top fins to support heat dissipation in certain air-cooled switch platforms, the Flat Top design is intended for compatible systems with an integrated cooling structure. It is suitable for supported liquid-cooled platforms and NVIDIA DGX H100 systems with the appropriate OSFP cage design. The module also supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), enabling monitoring of key operating parameters for network maintenance and troubleshooting.

The MMA4Z00-NS-FLT compatible 800G 2xSR4 OSFP module is designed for applicable NVIDIA/Mellanox networking environments. Before deployment, verify the host system’s OSFP cage type, thermal design, firmware, and supported module configuration. In particular, Flat Top and Finned Top modules should not be treated as mechanically interchangeable; some NVIDIA Quantum-2 and Spectrum-4 air-cooled switch configurations require Finned Top modules.

Each module undergoes functional and optical performance testing before shipment. Compatibility and parameter test documentation is available upon request. Backed by a 30-day free return policy, 1-year free replacement, 3-year warranty, and lifetime after-sales technical support, this 800G 2xSR4 OSFP transceiver provides a high-bandwidth multimode connectivity option for demanding data center and high-performance computing networks.

Questions & Answers

OSFP-800G-2SR4F-IB: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does this 800G NDR 2xSR4 optical module use MPO-12/APC multimode fiber connectors?

A: The MPO-12/APC connector features an angled physical contact end face designed to reduce optical back reflections at the fiber connection interface. This helps minimize reflection-related interference in high-speed PAM4 optical links, where signal integrity is particularly important. The module uses two MPO-12/APC interfaces, one for each independent 400G SR4 optical link. Always use fiber assemblies with matching connector type and polish, and verify the required optical interface specifications before installation.

Q: What type of optical fiber and patch cables are required for the 800G Twin-Port NDR 2xSR4 module?

A: This module operates over multimode fiber (MMF) at 850nm and uses two independent MPO-12/APC optical interfaces. For a 2x400G-to-2x400G connection, use two compatible OM4 MPO-12/APC multimode patch cords, one for each 400G link. For a 2x400G-to-4x200G breakout connection, use compatible MPO-12/APC-to-2xMPO-4/APC breakout assemblies as required by the host platform. The fiber mapping, polarity, connector configuration, and breakout support must be verified for the specific switch and NIC ports before deployment.

Q: What is the transmission distance of the 800G Twin-Port NDR 2xSR4 optical module?

A: The module supports a transmission distance of up to 30m over OM3 multimode fiber and up to 50m over OM4 multimode fiber at 850nm. The actual achievable link distance depends on the fiber grade, insertion loss, connector quality, and overall optical link budget. For optimal performance, use qualified OM4 MPO-12/APC patch cords for links requiring the full 50m reach.

Q: What is the modulation method and lane configuration of the 800G Twin-Port NDR 2xSR4 optical module?

A: The module supports an aggregate bandwidth of 800Gb/s using eight 100G PAM4 lanes. On the host electrical side, it uses 8x100G PAM4 lanes. On the optical side, the lanes are divided into two independent groups of four 100G PAM4 lanes, with each group forming a 400G SR4 optical interface. This Twin-Port architecture provides two separate 400G optical links through two MPO-12/APC connectors.

Q: What is the difference between Flat Top and Finned Top 800G 2xSR4 OSFP modules?

A: The main difference is the module housing design and its compatibility with the host system’s thermal and mechanical requirements. A Flat Top OSFP module has a low-profile upper surface and is designed for platforms with limited module clearance or an integrated cooling structure, such as supported liquid-cooled systems and NVIDIA DGX H100 configurations using the appropriate OSFP cage design. A Finned Top module features heat-dissipation fins on the upper surface to improve heat transfer and is required by certain air-cooled platforms, including applicable NVIDIA Quantum-2 and Spectrum-4 switch configurations. The MMA4Z00-NS-FLT is the Flat Top version. Always check the host system’s OSFP cage design and cooling requirements before selecting the module.

Q: Can the NVIDIA/Mellanox MMA4Z00-NS-FLT compatible 800G 2xSR4 OSFP module connect to two 400G SR4 ports?

A: Yes. The module contains two independent 400G SR4 optical interfaces, each using a dedicated MPO-12/APC connector. Each interface can establish a separate 400G link to a compatible 400G SR4 port. Both ends must support the corresponding optical standard, lane configuration, connector type, and host port operating mode.

Q: Can this 800G 2xSR4 module be used with NVIDIA QM9700 or QM9790 switches?

A: This module is designed for compatible NVIDIA Quantum-2 switch configurations, including supported QM9700 and QM9790 platforms. However, this product is the Flat Top (FLT) version, so the host OSFP cage and cooling design must support this housing type. Please verify the switch hardware configuration, firmware, and module mechanical requirements before deployment. Compatibility and optical performance test documentation can be provided upon request.
