Cisco QDD-800G-DR8 Compatible 800G QSFP-DD DR8 8 x 100G PAM4 Optical Transceiver Module | HYTOPTODEVICE

Product Detail：
HYTOPTODEVICE 800G Transceiver | Cisco Compatible 800BASE-DR8 QSFP-DD Optical Transceiver Module (SMF, 1310nm, 500m, MPO-16 APC, DOM)
      The HYTOPTODEVICE QDD-800G-DR8 is a high-performance Cisco compatible 800G optical transceiver, engineered for next-generation 800G Ethernet, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and InfiniBand Interconnects.it transmit traffic up to 500m over OS2 single-mode fibre (SMF) using a wavelength of 1310nm via MTP/MPO-16 APC connectors. Fully compliant with IEEE P802.3ck, IEEE 802.3cu, QSFP-DD MSA standards.supporting real-time DDM.
      The 800G QSFP-DD transceiver supports 2x 400G DR4 and 8x 100G DR breakout applications.It can split into two separate 400Gbps connections, each running over 4 lanes of parallel single-mode fiber (DR4) or split into eight individual 100Gbps connections. Featured with low latency, low power, and reliability, perfect for 800G Ethernet, Data Center, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core and distribution layers, and service provider applications.

Key Product Parameters

Q1:  800G DR8 VS 800G FR4, What is the primary difference ? A1: The primary differences are fiber type layout and distance. DR8 uses parallel optics (8 lanes of 100G running over 8 pairs of single-mode fiber) and reaches up to 500 meters. It is ideal for short-reach high-density environments and allows 8x100G or 2x400G breakouts. FR4 uses coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) over a single duplex LC fiber pair to reach up to 2km, but it does not natively breakout into 8 individual 100G lines.

Q2: Does this module support backward compatibility or breakout configurations? A2: Yes. The 800G DR8 module is highly flexible. It can be software-configured on the switch port to operate at full 800G speed, split into 2x 400G (DR4) links, or broken out into 8x 100G (DR) independent channels using an MPO breakout patch cable.

Q3: What type of fiber connector does this Cisco compatible module use? A3: The standard standard-density 800G QSFP-DD DR8 module utilizes an MPO-16 (APC) connector interface. 

Q4: Is this module hot-swappable, and does it support DOM? A4: Yes, it is fully hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed without powering down the switch. It also features built-in Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM/DDM), allowing network administrators to monitor real-time metrics like TX/RX optical power, temperature, and voltage via the Cisco CLI.
