FT-OSFP-XD-1.6T-DR8 1.6T OSFP-XD DR8 PAM4 1311nm 2km MPO-16 SMF Optical Transceiver Module

Although the OSFP1600 supports future switch silicon with 200 Gb/s electrical lanes, there is significant interest in 1.6 Tb/s optical transceivers within the 100 Gb/s electrical lane ecosystem. The OSFP-XD ('eXtra Dense') form factor was developed to address this demand. By increasing the number of electrical lanes from 8 to 16, the OSFP-XD provides 1.6T density with 16 lanes at 100 Gb/s and is poised to offer 3.2 Tb/s density with 16 lanes at 200 Gb/s in the future.
The OSFP-XD is primarily designed with several key objectives: high-power compatibility, copper cable support, and port density optimization. 1.6T OSFP-XD transceivers support up to 40W for future 1600-ZR and 3200G optical transceivers, ensuring stable high-performance data transmission. It is compatible with 100GBASE-CR1 standard passive copper cable solutions (DAC), meeting various connectivity needs. Additionally, 1.6T OSFP-XD transceivers enable 32-ports in a 1RU chassis and 64 ports in a 2U chassis, greatly enhancing space utilization and system expansion capabilities.

Engineered for the exponential bandwidth demands of next-generation AI clusters and hyperscale data centers, the FT- OSFP-XD-1.6T-DR8 module delivers a breakthrough in serial optical density. Leveraging 8 channels of 200G PAM4 signaling at 1311nm, this transceiver achieves an aggregate data rate of 1.6Tbps over a single MPO-16 interface, extending reach up to 2km over Single Mode Fiber (SMF).

Built on the OSFP-XD (eXtended Density) form factor, this module offers superior thermal headroom and electrical performance, supporting high-speed serial links essential for NVIDIA Spectrum-X and Quantum-X800 platforms. The MPO-16 connector facilitates efficient 1.6T to 8x200G breakout connectivity, making it ideal for spine-leaf architectures and long-reach intra-data center interconnects (DCI).

Key Features:

Maximum Throughput: 1.6Tbps aggregate bandwidth via 8x 200G PAM4 optical lanes.

Extended Reach: 2km transmission distance over SMF, doubling the reach of standard DR8 modules.

Next-Gen Form Factor: OSFP-XD design ensures backward compatibility with OSFP cages while providing enhanced thermal capacity.

Precision Optics: 1311nm wavelength optimized for low-latency, high-reliability data transmission.

Breakout Ready: MPO-16 APC connector supports 1.6T to 8x 200G DR breakout for flexible topology design.

Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with OSFP-XD MSA, IEEE 802.3dj (Draft), and CMIS 5.x.
