Description
The 800G QSFP-DD DR8 Optical Transceiver Module is a high-density parallel optical solution designed for next-generation 800GbE networks, AI clusters, and cloud data center infrastructure. Based on an 8×100G PAM4 architecture, it integrates eight 100G PAM4 EML transmitters and high-sensitivity PIN receivers to provide an aggregate data rate of 850Gbps over single-mode fiber. Operating at 1310nm and using an MPO-16 APC optical interface, the module is available in DR8 500m, DR8+ 1km, and DR8++ 2km reach configurations. Its QSFP-DD Type 2A hot-pluggable form factor, 800GAUI-8 retimed electrical interface, integrated digital management, and ≤16W power consumption make it well suited for high-density 800G Ethernet switches, AI computing networks, hyperscale cloud infrastructure, and large-scale data center deployments.
