Data Center Iteration Imminent- Luxshare-Tech 800G OSFP DR8 Optical Module Preemptively Builds the High-Speed Connection Bridge

The Luxshare-Tech 800G OSFP DR8 optical module was first released in 2023 and officially entered mass production starting in 2024. It provides stable, reliable, and ultra-low power consumption in high-speed data connection for next-generation data centers oriented toward artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, and other fields.

The Demand for Computing Power is Driving the Rapid Market Growth for Optical Modules

With the rapid development of AI technology, ultra-large-scale data centers oriented toward artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data are experiencing explosive growth globally. Synergy Research Group predicts that by 2030, the total capacity of global ultra-large-scale data centers will nearly triple. As a key component of high-speed interconnect in data centers, the high-speed optical module market size is also expanding rapidly: Light Counting data shows that this year the Ethernet optical module market will grow by 50%, and the global optical module market scale is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% in the coming years, possibly surpassing $37 billion by 2029.

Bandwidth Doubled, Strong Support for Architecture Upgrade and Iteration

As a leading supplier in the optical interconnect field, Luxshare-Tech identified the market demand for next-generation data centers as early as 2023 and innovatively launched the 800G OSFP DR8 silicon photonics module product in September of that year. Compared to mainstream 400G optical modules, this product doubled thje bandwidth, offering higher port density, and delivering greater energy efficiency, providing strong support for the upgrade and iteration of data center architecture. 

 800G OSFP DR8 Optical Transceiver

Luxshare-Tech’s 800G OSFP DR8, with its outstanding scalable architecture, broadly supports multiple Ethernet applications such as 8x100G / 4x200G / 2x400G, fully meeting network deployment needs across different architectures. This product innovatively adopts silicon photonics chip technology, achieving high integration and excellent transmission performance while maintaining significant cost-effectiveness.

2. Insight into Demand Creates High Product Applicability

Drawing on in-depth summarization and insights into industry development, technological pathways, and market feedback, Luxshare-Tech precisely grasps the iterative trends in customer needs. From the design source, it incorporates the concept of high applicability, optimizing for real application scenarios. In February 2024, Luxshare-Tech debuted the 800G LRO product, which, with outstanding performance and broad compatibility, was the first in the industry to validate the feasibility of the technological pathway and thereby won high market recognition.

3. Excellent Intelligent Manufacturing Ensures Quality and Quantity in Delivery

Luxshare-Tech has always been committed to innovation and upgrades in intelligent manufacturing and production processes, possessing an industry-leading large-scale mass production system. By building a new, fully automated production line—integrating advanced COB (chip-on-board packaging) and COC (high-precision die attach) technologies—it ensures product quality stability from the production source, achieving significant results in high finished-product yield. Currently, this product’s production capacity is steadily and continuously expanding and has entered the stage of large-scale delivery.

4. Ecosystem Deployment Expands Compatibility Boundaries

Luxshare-Tech has completed strategic deployments across Asia, America, and Europe, establishing R&D centers, manufacturing bases, marketing centers, and other foundational infrastructure to respond quickly and precisely to global customer needs. Currently, the Luxshare-Tech 800G OSFP DR8 optical module has completed compatibility testing with mainstream switches from brands such as NVIDIA, Arista, and Juniper and has been delivered in volume to multiple AI customers in North America. In the future, compatibility capabilities will continue to be expanded.

Luxshare-Tech Presented 1.6T OSFP DR8 Optical Transceiver at OFC 2025 

With the continuous growth of AI optical interconnect demand, the optical module market has entered the 800G product iteration cycle. Luxshare-Tech, fully prepared in advance, has actively led and participated in the formulation of relevant industry standards such as the CPO optical interconnect standard and the QSFP112 international standard for equipment professional interfaces. Meanwhile, looking ahead to the next round of iteration, it has taken the lead in realizing the implementation of the

1.6T optical module solution, which was exhibited at this year’s OFC exhibition in March. In the future, Luxshare-Tech will further cultivate pre-research fields, collaborate with more technology leaders in the industry, and preemptively pave the way for customers to achieve more agile, efficient, reliable, and low-power ultra-high-speed connections.
