OSFP-transceivermodule NVIDIA 980-9I510-F4NS00 800GbE (2x 400GbE)

The NVIDIA OSFP transceiver module 980-9I510-F4NS00 delivers 800GbE aggregate bandwidth and can operate as two independent 400GbE lanes. Engineered for high-density data center and network infrastructure, this OSFP form-factor module provides low-latency, high-throughput optical connectivity for switches and routers with compatible OSFP ports. It is intended for environments that require consolidated high-speed links such as spine/leaf fabrics, spine aggregation, and hyperscale networking deployments.

Advantages

This OSFP transceiver supports flexible lane configuration, allowing operation as 800GbE or as 2x400GbE to match traffic engineering needs. It is built for high port density and optimized for low power per bit, enabling efficient use of rack space and power budgets in large-scale deployments. The module is compatible with standard OSFP sockets and integrates with NVIDIA networking equipment to provide stable, predictable performance for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Spine and leaf fabric interconnects in data centers
• High-speed aggregation links in core network layers
• Hyperscale and cloud provider network backbones
• High-performance computing clusters requiring multi-400Gb links

Key specifications

• Aggregate data rate: 800 Gigabit Ethernet (can operate as 2 x 400GbE lanes)
• Form factor: OSFP (octal small form factor pluggable)
• Application: short to medium reach optical interconnects in data center networks
• Interface type: optical transceiver for OSFP-compatible ports
• Performance characteristics: high throughput, low latency, designed for dense deployments
• Power profile: optimized for lower power per transmitted bit compared to prior generations

How to use

Install the OSFP transceiver into a compatible OSFP port on a switch or router following the host equipment manufacturer's instructions for hot-swap procedures and electrostatic discharge precautions. Configure the network device to recognize the module and, if required, set lane aggregation or split-lane modes to enable operation as 800GbE or as 2x400GbE. Verify link status, negotiate speed and FEC settings, and monitor optical diagnostics where supported to ensure stable operation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fiber cabling and optical components rated for the intended reach and data rate. Maintain proper airflow and cooling in high-density racks to keep transceiver temperature within specified limits. For multi-400Gb links, validate switch firmware and port configuration for split-lane operation and perform interoperability tests in lab environments before large-scale deployment.
