DCP-802_1.1_(1000×1000)

Meet the DCP-802

A dual 400G/800G transponder purpose-built for scalable and cost-efficient 800ZR networking

Designed for smart, scalable 800G networking

The DCP-802 unlocks the full potential of 800ZR in a compact, power-efficient form factor. Built for next-generation optical networks, it delivers the breakout, flexibility and performance needed to simplify scaling and lower cost per bit.

Maximize fiber utilization and flexibility

On the client side, the DCP-802 can break out a single 800G connection into 2×400G or 8×100G links – enabling better fiber utilization, extended port life and seamless integration. In transponder mode, gray client signals are converted to coherent DWDM for optimized performance. Two client ports support a flexible range of QSFP-DD and OSFP optics, allowing you to tailor deployments to your network architecture.

Tailor performance to your network needs

On the line side, the DCP-802 supports coherent DWDM 800G and 400G modulation formats for high-capacity, long-distance transport. Programmable line rates from 100G to 800G in small increments, enabled by dynamic modulation and constellation shaping, let you fine-tune reach and capacity. And when security is a priority, optional Layer 1 encryption secures data in transit easily and effectively.

Purpose-built for 800G network use cases

Compact, adaptable and designed to help you get more out of 800G

Maximize 800G switch/router capacity

Break out 800G links to integrate directly with 100G and 400G systems – simplifying scaling and expanding connectivity options without forklift upgrades.

Extend lifespan of 100G/400G switches/routers

Support older port types by breaking out a single 800G interface into up to 8×100G connections – boosting capacity while preserving existing infrastructure.

Convert gray client signals to DWDM

Use transponder mode to convert 100G, 400G or 800G gray client signals to coherent DWDM – enabling extended reach and higher performance.

Monitor and verify with built-in demarcation

Use the DCP-802’s demarcation point with integrated performance monitoring to ensure quality of service, verify signals and simplify troubleshooting.

Solution brief

Dynamic Connectivity Platform (DCP)

One platform for building open optical point-to-point and advanced, ROADM-based ring and mesh networks for 1-400 Gbps. With an open architecture the functionality of once monolithic optical transport systems can be disaggregated. This is based on using transceivers embedded in routers or switches, open line systems and transponders as needed. As a result, the price-performance ratio is much better. In alignment with this, Smartoptics has developed the DCP for active open line systems of all types - from simple point-to-point links to advanced, ROADM-based ring and mesh networks. To fit all the varying needs of an open line system, DCP comes in three flavors – the DCP-M, the DCP-R and the DCP-F families – each optimized for a particular type of optical network.
