Generic Compatible 800GBASE-DR8 OSFP IHS/Closed Finned Top 8x100G PAM4 1310nm 500m SMF DOM MPO-16/APC Optical Transceiver Module

The Generic Compatible OSFP-800G-DR8 optical transceiver is an eight-channel parallel optical module designed for high-performance 800G Ethernet applications. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm, it supports transmission distances of up to 500m over single-mode fiber (SMF), making it suitable for high-bandwidth optical interconnects in data centers, cloud infrastructure, and AI computing networks.

The module supports an aggregate data rate of 800Gbps through eight 100G PAM4 optical lanes, with an MPO-16/APC interface for parallel fiber connectivity. Its DR8 optical architecture enables high-density 800G point-to-point connections between compatible switches and network devices. The APC connector interface is designed to help reduce optical back reflections and support reliable optical transmission.

For flexible network deployment, the OSFP-800G-DR8 can also support 2x400G DR4 breakout connectivity when used with a dedicated MPO-16 to 2xMPO-12 breakout harness and compatible host equipment. This enables an 800G port to connect to two separate 400G DR4 links, helping network operators adapt their connectivity architecture to different bandwidth requirements.

Featuring an OSFP IHS/Closed Finned Top housing, this module is designed for compatible OSFP host systems with appropriate mechanical and thermal specifications. DOM functionality supports digital monitoring of key operating parameters, helping simplify network maintenance and link diagnostics. With a maximum power consumption of ≤16W, it provides a high-density optical connectivity solution for next-generation Ethernet networks.

Highlights

Optimized for High-Density 800G Ethernet Networks

The OSFP-800G-DR8 is suitable for high-capacity network architectures that require high port density and efficient fiber management. Typical applications include:

800G leaf-spine switch interconnections in large-scale data centers.
AI training and inference clusters requiring high-bandwidth network fabrics.
Cloud computing and hyperscale data center infrastructure.
High-performance computing (HPC) and distributed storage networks.
High-speed connections between compatible 800G Ethernet switches and routers.

Flexible 800G-to-2x400G Breakout Connectivity

With a dedicated MPO-16 to 2xMPO-12 breakout harness, the eight optical lanes can be divided into two groups of four lanes for 2x400G DR4 connections, provided that the host platform supports the required breakout configuration. This offers network designers additional flexibility when connecting 800G switching infrastructure to downstream 400G devices.

Simplified Parallel Fiber Infrastructure

The single MPO-16/APC optical interface provides a compact connection for all eight optical lanes. Compared with a dual-interface 2xDR4 architecture, a DR8 link can simplify direct 800G fiber routing and cable management in compatible point-to-point deployments.

Host Compatibility and Thermal Integration

The OSFP IHS/Closed Finned Top housing is intended for network equipment designed to support this specific OSFP mechanical and thermal configuration. Before installation, verify host cage compatibility, airflow direction, cooling requirements, and supported module power limits.

Deployment Verification and Network Maintenance

Professional compatibility testing and optical/electrical parameter verification help support integration into different network environments. DOM monitoring provides access to supported diagnostic information, assisting network operators with link health assessment and troubleshooting.

Questions & Answers

OSFP-800G-DR8: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which is more cost-effective for practical networking: OSFP-800G-DR8 or OSFP-800G-2xDR4?

A: For direct 800G-to-800G switch interconnection, OSFP-800G-DR8 can simplify the optical cabling layout by using one MPO-16/APC interface per link, while OSFP-800G-2xDR4 uses two MPO-12/APC interfaces. This may reduce the number of fiber connections and simplify cable management in suitable deployments. However, the overall cost depends on transceiver pricing, breakout requirements, fiber infrastructure, and host port compatibility.

Q: What is the main difference between OSFP-800G-DR8 and OSFP-800G-2xDR4?

A: The main difference is their optical channel architecture and connector configuration. OSFP-800G-DR8 uses eight 100G optical lanes through a single MPO-16/APC interface for an aggregate 800G link. OSFP-800G-2xDR4 uses two independent 400G DR4 optical channels through two MPO-12/APC interfaces. DR8 is typically used for direct 800G interconnection, while 2xDR4 provides a dual-channel architecture that can support 2x400G breakout connectivity when the host platform supports it.

Q: Can this OSFP-800G-DR8 module connect to two 400G DR4 optical modules?

A: Yes, this configuration may be supported using a dedicated MPO-16 to 2xMPO-12 single-mode breakout harness, such as the compatible NDD S2MPOA2x8F cable assembly. The harness separates the eight DR8 optical lanes into two groups of four lanes, allowing connection to two 400G DR4 modules. Before deployment, verify the breakout cable’s lane mapping, fiber polarity, connector type, and optical specifications, as well as support for 2x400G breakout on the host switch or network device.
