ENET, part of the Network Infrastructure division of NSI Industries, has introduced a 1.6T DR8 OSFP224 optical transceiver aimed at AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and hyperscale data center environments that use 224G electrical signaling. ENET says the module is available for qualification and deployment.

ENET reports the 1.6T DR8 OSFP224 delivers 1.6 terabits per second of aggregate throughput over eight 200G PAM4 electrical lanes. It uses a DR8 parallel single-mode fiber interface and is positioned for high-density switching and GPU-driven AI clusters, supporting interconnects across spine, leaf, and accelerator topologies with an emphasis on signal integrity and low error rates over parallel single-mode fiber.

The company says the OSFP224 form factor is intended to align with switch and accelerator platforms that support 200G per lambda interfaces. ENET positions the transceiver for operators moving to higher switch capacities, denser port counts, and improved power efficiency in data center networks.

The module’s hardware supports InfiniBand or Ethernet protocols, according to ENET. For operations and monitoring, ENET says it includes digital diagnostics via Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) 5.3, with real-time visibility into optical power, temperature, voltage, and other performance metrics.
