400GBASE-DR4 OSFP Optical Module: 400G-OSFP-500

400G OSFP DR4 Overview
The 400G-OSFP-500 is EDGE Optical Solutions' 400GBASE-DR4 transceiver in the OSFP form factor, built for parallel single-mode fiber links up to 500 meters. It implements IEEE 802.3bs Clause 124, four parallel PAM4 optical lanes at a single wavelength near 1310nm. The host electrical interface is 400GAUI-8, eight lanes of 53.125 Gbps PAM4 gearboxed internally to the four 1310nm optical lanes. This is distinct from the native 400GAUI-4 interface used on EDGE's OSFP112-class 400G modules, which run no gearbox stage; confirm which interface the target host port expects. Media connectivity is an MTP/MPO-12 APC connector with 8 fibers. Each of the module's four parallel 1310nm lanes maps to one 100GBASE-DR lane; a single MPO-12 to 4x LC breakout harness splits the module into four independent 100GBASE-DR links, each up to 500 meters.

400GBASE-DR4 OSFP Optical Module Description
The 400G-OSFP-500 is a 400GBASE-DR4 transceiver in the OSFP form factor for parallel single-mode fiber links up to 500 meters. It implements IEEE 802.3bs Clause 124, four parallel PAM4 lanes at a single wavelength near 1310nm, for a maximum data rate of 425 Gbps.
The host electrical interface is 400GAUI-8, eight lanes of 53.125 Gbps PAM4 gearboxed internally to the four 1310nm optical lanes, distinct from the native 400GAUI-4 interface used on EDGE's OSFP112-class 400G modules, which run no gearbox stage. Confirm which interface the target host port expects before ordering.
Average launch power per lane is −2.9 to 4 dBm, average receiver sensitivity per lane is −5.9 to 4 dBm, and receiver overload is 5 dBm. Minimum optical budget (OMA) is 3.6 dB, average link budget is 3 dB over 500 meters. The transmitter is a CW laser with a 3.5 dB minimum extinction ratio; the receiver is a PIN photodiode with DDM, CDR, and host side RS-FEC (KP4, RS(544,514)) support per the IEEE 802.3bs 400G PAM4 path.
Media connectivity is an MTP/MPO-12 APC connector with 8 fibers across the 4 transmit and 4 receive lanes. MPO/APC does not mate with MPO/UPC, so any trunk or breakout cable must also be APC terminated. The module's four parallel 1310nm lanes break out through a single MPO-12 to 4x LC harness into four independent 100GBASE-DR links, one lane per link, each up to 500 meters.
Operating temperature is 0 to 70C, storage is −40 to 85C at 5 to 85 percent relative humidity, and power draw is bounded at 12W on 3.3V. The finned top module carries CE, RoHS, Class 1 FDA and IEC 60825-1 laser safety compliance, and follows IEEE 802.3bs and the OSFP MSA.
The 400G-OSFP-500 is made to order and carries EDGE Optical Solutions' standard 5-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For project quantity pricing or platform verification, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 400G OSFP DR4 require host FEC?
Yes. The module supports host side RS-FEC (KP4, RS(544,514)) as part of the IEEE 802.3bs 400G PAM4 path. Both ends of the link need RS-FEC enabled for the link to establish.
Can the 400G-OSFP-500 be broken out to four 100GBASE-DR links?
Yes. The module's four parallel 1310nm lanes break out through a single MPO-12 to 4x LC harness into four independent 100GBASE-DR links, one lane per link, each up to 500 meters. Verify the breakout harness polish matches the module connector before deployment.
Is the MPO-12 connector on the 400G-OSFP-500 APC or UPC polish?
The MPO-12 connector is APC, angled polish. MPO/APC connectors do not mate with MPO/UPC connectors, so confirm that any trunk or breakout cable is also APC terminated before connecting.
Does the 400G-OSFP-500 use the same electrical interface as EDGE's OSFP112-class 400G modules?
No. The 400G-OSFP-500 uses a 400GAUI-8 electrical interface, eight lanes of 53.125 Gbps PAM4 gearboxed internally to four 1310nm optical lanes. EDGE's OSFP112-class 400G modules run a native 400GAUI-4 interface without a gearbox stage, a different host SerDes class. Confirm which electrical interface the target host port expects before ordering.
