ENET 1.6T DR8 OSFP224 transceiver in NVIDIA switch. 1600G Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable (OSFP) optical module with top closed fin designed for 500m optical communication applications. The ENET 1.6T DR8 converts 8 channels of 200Gb/s (PAM4) electrical input data to 8 channels of parallel optical signals via integrated silicon photonics optical path, each capable of 200Gb/s operation for an aggregate data rate of 1600Gb/s. On the receiver side, the module converts 8 channels of parallel optical signals of 200Gb/s each channel for an aggregate data rate of 1600Gb/s into 8 channels of 200Gb/s (PAM4) electrical output data. MSA and NVIDIA compatible.

The ENET 1.6T DR8 OSFP224 offers 1.6 terabits per second of total throughput over eight 200G PAM4 electrical lanes. Built for high-density switching and GPU-driven AI clusters, it supports scalable interconnects for spine, leaf, and accelerator topologies, ensuring strong signal integrity and low error rates over parallel single-mode fiber.

With its OSFP224 form factor, this transceiver keeps pace with evolving switch and accelerator technologies supporting 200G/Lambda interfaces. It helps data center operators move toward higher switch capacities, denser port counts, and better power efficiency.

Key Features

• 1.6Tb/s aggregate data rate
• 8 x 200G PAM4 electrical lanes
• DR8 parallel single-mode fiber interface
• OSFP224 form factor supporting 224G electrical signaling
• Hardware supports InfinBand or Ethernet Protocol
• Designed for AI, HPC, and hyperscale data center fabrics

“As AI models grow larger and clusters become more complex, networks need to offer consistent, high-speed performance,” said Jason Barrette, VP of Sales and Operations at ENET. “Our 1.6T DR8 OSFP224 is designed for demanding GPU interconnects and advanced switching environments, where bandwidth, density, and reliability are crucial for maximizing computing power.”

Built-in digital diagnostics via CMIS 5.3 allow users to monitor optical power, temperature, voltage, and other performance metrics in real time, making it easier to manage large-scale networks proactively.
