Eoptolink 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 OSFP transceivers feature eight electrical host interfacing lanes and eight optical lanes operating at 212.5 Gbps (106GBaud PAM4). Equipped with the industry's latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances up to 500m for DR8 and up to 2km for DR8-2 without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules come with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or dual MPO-12 adapters (named as 2xDR4 version) for 2x800G-DR4 breakout applications, enabling high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud data centers. These 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side, which results in lower latency and power consumption.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "Eoptolink's 1.6T transceivers are some of the first to market and will be needed for AI networks very soon."
