800G Review
Advanced Optics — 1G through 1.6T

Active optics, interconnect & high-density cabling — matched as one link.

Every optic Altnet ships resolves to a full link: the transceiver, the matched cable or direct-attach assembly, connector, polarity and lane map — checked against real platform compatibility before it's presented as fact.

Three lanes, one accountable manufacturer

What's in this product line

Active optics

1G through 1.6T

Installed-base optics through 400G and 800G, coherent DCI for metro/long-haul, and 1.6T tracked as supplier-confirmed until Altnet-approved. Primary growth focus is 400G/800G migration and AI-fabric buildouts.

Direct interconnect

DAC / AEC / AOC

Native and breakout configurations for server-to-switch, GPU-to-switch, leaf-spine, top-of-rack and end-of-row — matched to reach and lane count, not sold as a generic cable.

High-density cabling

MPO/MTP & structured assemblies

Trunks, harnesses, breakouts, and LC/CS/SN/MDC assemblies, cassettes and panels built for 400G/800G/1.6T migration inside the data hall.

Seed data. These records are placeholder SKUs shaped exactly like Altnet's real product schema — they exist so this filter mechanism can be tested and used today. They'll be replaced with real Altnet-approved SKUs the moment the approved factory/product feed lands (open item, execution package §6.4). None of these are quotable yet.
No overclaiming

Status discipline applies to every optic

● Altnet approved ● Platform validated ● Supplier confirmed ● Deprecated / hold

A part number on this site means something specific. Nothing goes public on the strength of a factory datasheet alone — it moves through supplier-confirmed → Altnet-approved → platform-validated → customer-tested before it's presented as fact.
