Arista OSFP-800G-2XDR4-Arista | 800G OSFP Transceiver, 1310nm, 2km, Dual MPO-12 SMF

Q: What is the maximum transmission distance for the OSFP-800G-2XDR4?
A: This transceiver supports link distances up to 2km over single-mode fiber (OS2) using 1310nm wavelength with dual MPO-12 APC connectors.

Q: Can this module be used with 400G equipment?
A: Yes, the OSFP-800G-2XDR4 supports breakout configurations to 2x 400G XDR4 links, allowing interoperability with 400G OSFP or QSFP-DD XDR4 modules using dual MPO-12 single-mode patch cables.

Q: Is the OSFP-800G-2XDR4 compatible with QSFP-DD ports?
A: While OSFP and QSFP-DD have different physical form factors and are not directly compatible, they can be interconnected using appropriate fiber cables as long as both modules are the same type (e.g., both XDR4). This allows connection between OSFP and QSFP-DD switches.

Q: What applications is this transceiver best suited for?
A: The OSFP-800G-2XDR4 is ideal for high-performance data center environments including spine-leaf network architectures, top-of-rack switch connections, AI/HPC computing clusters, and connections to compute servers and storage subsystems requiring 800G Ethernet throughput.

Q: Does this module support digital diagnostics monitoring?
A: Yes, the transceiver includes DDM/DOM capability for real-time monitoring of operating parameters including optical transmit and receive power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage.
