Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

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 configuration with integrated 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 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 specification.

Prominent features and differentiators
OSFP-800G-DR8
The Cisco OSFP-800G-DR8 module (Figure 1) supports 800GE as well as 2x 400GE, 4x 200GE, and 8x 100GE breakouts for links up to 500m in reach. The module has eight pairs of single-mode fiber with MPO-12 APC connectors. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3 800GBASE-DR8 and OSFP MSA requirements. Optical signals are carried over eight pairs of parallel lanes, with one wavelength per lane. The optical interface can interoperate with any IEEE-compliant module regardless of the form factor. Forward Error Correction (FEC) is performed on the host platform. The OSFP-800G-DR8 module is field firmware upgradeable, complying with CMIS 5.0 firmware upgradability process. The module also has dual bank memory, providing the ability to down new firmware to the module without interrupting module operation.
