Arista OSFP-800G-2FR4-Arista | 800G Transceiver, 2x 400G FR4, 1310nm, 2km, Dual LC

Q: Can this transceiver break out to 2x 400G connections?
A: Yes, the OSFP-800G-2FR4 supports breakout to 2x 400GBASE-FR4 connections using two single-mode fibre patch cables with duplex LC connectors, or 4x 200G applications for increased port density.

Q: Is this compatible with QSFP-DD form factor switches?
A: No, OSFP and QSFP-DD are different physical form factors with different dimensions and are not physically compatible. However, they can interoperate optically if both use the same transceiver type such as FR4.

Q: What switches is this transceiver designed for?
A: This transceiver is designed for Arista 800G OSFP-equipped switches including the 7060X6 series and other high-performance data centre platforms supporting air-cooled finned-top OSFP modules.

Q: What applications is the 800G 2xFR4 best suited for?
A: Ideal for hyperscale data centres, AI/ML workloads, HPC computing, spine-leaf network architectures, top-of-rack switch uplinks, and inter-rack connections requiring high-bandwidth single-mode fibre links up to 2km.

Q: Does this transceiver require specific licensing?
A: No additional licensing is required for the transceiver itself. However, ensure your Arista switch is running compatible EOS software and has the necessary feature licenses for your network configuration.
