800G OSFP DR8 500m Optical Transceiver – APX-OSFP-800G-500m-DR8
Product Overview
The Apex APX-OSFP-800G-500m-DR8 is an 800G OSFP DR8 optical transceiver engineered for high-density data center and telecom networks. It transmits up to 500m over single-mode fiber (SMF), delivering dependable 800G connectivity for modern AI and cloud infrastructure.
Built in an OSFP form factor with an MPO-16 APC optical interface, the APX-OSFP-800G-500m-DR8 aggregates 8 x 100G PAM4 electrical lanes into a single hot-pluggable module. The eight PAM4 lanes are carried over a single MPO-16 APC fiber connection at 1310nm. It is compatible with major networking platforms and supports plug-and-play deployment in existing racks.
Engineered for 800G switching and transport fabrics, this transceiver delivers consistent optical performance with low power consumption and full digital diagnostics for scalable, serviceable network infrastructure.
