800G Hybrid Optical Interconnect Solution-Next-Generation Hybrid VR8-AOC & DR8 PHO Replacements for Traditional 800G Interconnects

The 800G Hybrid Optical Interconnect Solution delivers a high-performance, power-efficient alternative to traditional 800G OSFP active optical cables (AOCs) and optical modules. By adopting a patented Hybrid architecture, this solution reduces power consumption and latency while maintaining robust transmission performance — making it ideal for AI-centric and hyperscale data center interconnects.

What Makes the Hybrid Approach Different

Traditional full-DSP optical solutions are challenged by rising power and latency as speeds scale. The Hybrid architecture overcomes these limitations by applying DSP processing to only half of the signal channels, enabling significant energy and latency savings without sacrificing signal quality. This design draws on established LPO/LRO methodologies and enhances system-level signal alignment for optimized performance.

Key Solution Components & Benefits

800G OSFP Hybrid VR8-AOC — Advanced AOC Replacement

Ultra-Low Power Consumption: < 9 W (~20–25% lower than conventional DSP designs)
Extended Reach: Up to 30 m on OM3 and 50 m on OM4 multimode fiber (with KP4-FEC)
Reduced Latency: Nearly 50% lower link latency compared with traditional DSP-based AOCs
Superior Signal Quality: Pre-FEC BER reaching E-7/E-8, ensuring reliable high-speed links

800G OSFP DR8 PHO (Pluggable Hybrid Optics) SiPh Module — High-Efficiency Optical Module

Low Power Consumption: < 13 W (~20% lower than standard DSP optics)
Extended Reach: Up to 500 m on single-mode fiber (SMF) with KP4-FEC
Reduced Latency: Link latency reduced by nearly 50% versus DSP-centric optics
High Signal Integrity: Designed to meet pre-FEC BER of E-7/E-8 for stable, high-speed transmission

This Hybrid solution delivers high compatibility, low insertion loss, and deployment flexibility, making it an excellent choice for high-density, cost-sensitive AI data center networks. It strikes an effective balance between transmission performance and total cost of ownership — helping data centers scale to 800G with improved energy efficiency and reduced latency.
