Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 – QSFP-DD DR8 Optical Transceiver

About Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 Optical Transceiver in Bangladesh

The Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 is a high-performance 800Gbps optical transceiver designed for next-generation data center, AI, cloud, and high-performance computing networks. Using the compact QSFP-DD form factor and DR8 parallel optical architecture, it provides high-bandwidth connectivity over compatible single-mode fiber infrastructure.

The 800G DR8 architecture uses eight optical lanes, with each lane carrying approximately 100Gbps using PAM4 modulation. This enables an aggregate optical capacity of 800Gbps while maintaining the high port density required by modern data center switching platforms.

Designed for parallel single-mode fiber connectivity, the Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 is suitable for high-capacity switch-to-switch links, spine-leaf network fabrics, AI cluster networking, data center interconnects, and other applications requiring 800GbE connectivity over short- to medium-distance optical links.

Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 Optical Transceiver Specifications & Overview

*Verify the exact connector and cabling requirements against the Dell transceiver part number before deployment.

Overview

The Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 provides 800Gbps optical Ethernet connectivity through a high-density QSFP-DD interface. It is designed for modern network architectures where extremely high throughput and efficient switch-port utilization are essential.

The DR8 optical architecture uses eight parallel optical lanes operating at approximately 100Gbps per lane. PAM4 modulation enables the high aggregate bandwidth required for 800GbE networking while keeping the optical module within a compact pluggable form factor.

Unlike long-reach LR8 solutions, DR8 is intended primarily for shorter data center and campus-scale optical connections. With compatible single-mode fiber, DR8 implementations can support distances of up to approximately 500 meters, making the technology well suited to spine-to-leaf, leaf-to-leaf, and data center interconnect applications.

The parallel-fiber design requires compatible MPO-based cabling and appropriate polarity. Fiber infrastructure should therefore be planned carefully to ensure correct lane mapping and reliable operation.

Q1: What is the data rate of the Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8?
The Dell 800G QSFP-DD DR8 is designed for 800Gbps Ethernet connectivity.

Q2: What does DR8 mean?
DR8 refers to an 800G parallel optical architecture using eight optical lanes. Each lane typically operates at approximately 100Gbps using PAM4 modulation.

Q3: What form factor does the 800G DR8 use?
It uses the QSFP-DD form factor, which provides high bandwidth while maintaining high front-panel port density.

Q4: What type of fiber does the 800G DR8 use?
DR8 is designed for single-mode fiber using parallel optical lanes.

Q5: What is the typical reach of 800G DR8?
800G DR8 implementations are commonly designed for up to approximately 500 meters over compatible single-mode fiber. Actual reach depends on the exact transceiver, fiber plant, optical budget, cabling, and host equipment.

Q6: What modulation does the Dell 800G DR8 use?
The optical lanes typically use PAM4 modulation to achieve the required 800Gbps aggregate bandwidth.

Q7: What type of fiber connector is required?
DR8 is a parallel-fiber technology and typically uses an MPO-based interface. The exact connector configuration should be confirmed from the Dell part number and cabling specification.

Q8: Is the Dell 800G DR8 suitable for AI networking?
