Cisco 800G ZR/ZR+ Coherent Optics
Transmit 800G wavelengths up to 120km with coherent ZR, and over 1000km with OpenZR+. QSFP-DD and OSFP form factors double the capacity of 400G links for AI and hyperscale data center interconnect.
Product Overview
800G Capacity
Double the bandwidth of 400G coherent optics with a single wavelength, maximizing fiber utilization for AI and hyperscale workloads.
ZR: Up to 120km
Standards-based 800G ZR for metro data center interconnect over amplified DWDM links up to 120km.
ZR+: Over 1000km
OpenZR+ extends reach beyond 1000km with enhanced FEC and flexible modulation for long-haul and regional networks.
Eliminates Transponder Shelves
Plug coherent optics directly into routers and switches, removing the need for external transponder chassis and reducing cost.
7nm DSP Technology
Advanced 7nm digital signal processing delivers high performance with low power consumption in a compact pluggable form factor.
Routed Optical Networking
Converge IP and optical layers into a single architecture, simplifying network operations and reducing total cost of ownership.
