Cisco 800 Gigabit OSFP-2X400G-FR4 Transceiver

Product overview

The Cisco^® OSFP 800G transceiver modules provide 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE), 2x 400GE, 4x 200GE, and 8x 100GE connectivity options, complying with the Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) MSA for pluggable transceivers. The modules comply with the OSFP MSA configuration with integrated closed top heat sink. These transceivers are used in AI applications for both front-end and back-end networks as well as other data center applications. They meet the IEEE 800GE requirements along with the flexibility of 400GE, 200GE, and 100GE connectivity options for data centers, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider applications. The OSFP 800G modules are Cisco’s new generation of pluggable transceiver modules based on the OSFP form factor specification.

Note: The OSFP-800G-VR8, OSFP-800G-VR8P, OSFP-800G-DR8 and OSFP-800G-DR8P require patch cords with angled physical contact (APC) MPO connectors. All cables and cable assemblies used must comply with the standards specified in the standards section of this data sheet. All module optical ports with MPO connectors are male (also called pinned) connectors and can only accept cables with female or unpinned connectors.
