Product description

Generic-compatible 400GBASE-SR8 QSFP-DD PAM4 optical transceiver — multimode fiber, 850 nm, 100 m, MTP/MPO, DOM.

The 400GBASE-SR8 transceiver reaches up to 100 m over parallel OM4 multimode fiber through an MTP/MPO-16 connector, complying with IEEE 802.3bs and the 400GAUI-8/CEI-56G-VSR-PAM4 standards.

The 400G Ethernet signal is carried over eight lanes, and the module supports breakout to 2×200G-SR4 and 8×50G-SR.

Product highlights

  • Integrated low-power DSP for stable performance at scale
  • Optimized power budget, max power consumption 10W
  • Compliant with QSFP-DD MSA and IEEE 802.3cm and IEEE 802.3bs standards
  • Supports breakout to lower-rate links for flexible fabric design
  • Backward compatible with existing QSFP form-factor ports
  • Tested on live switch / NIC platforms to ensure performance, quality and reliability

Applications

  • AI data center & GPU cluster interconnect
  • Spine-leaf switching fabric
  • Short-reach in-rack and adjacent-rack connections
  • Hyperscale, cloud and high-performance computing networks

Supply & compliance FAQ

How do the proposed FCC rules on optical transceivers affect availability?

The FCC rulemaking reported in August 2026 is still a draft. As reported, it would apply to new model authorizations, while models already deployed and shipping would continue to be supplied. Current PhoScale shipments are unaffected, and we hold inventory in our US warehouse. We track the rulemaking closely and publish updates on our Insights page.

Can you provide compliance documentation for your transceivers?

Yes. Every SKU ships with per-unit test reports, and compliance documentation (FCC, FDA laser, RoHS) is available on request as part of our ongoing compliance program.

How do you protect buyers against supply-chain disruption?

Three ways: US-warehouse stock for immediate needs, multi-source manufacturing across tier-one Asian production partners, and allocation planning for project and annual-supply customers. See our Supply Assurance page for details.

What lead times should we plan for on 800G and 1.6T optics?

In-stock models ship from our US warehouse immediately. For volume orders, typical lead times are 2–6 weeks depending on model and quantity — submit an RFQ for a confirmed date against current allocation.
