We demonstrate the feasibility of supporting aggregated 800 Gbps in an 8-core multimode, multicore fiber assembly using existing high speed PAM4 modulation and bi-directional \1/DM transmission platform developed for 400GBASE-SR4.2 technology in IEEE P802.3cm. Analysis of the receiver QoS (Quality of service), receiver FEC error statistics and stressed eye closure (SECQ) suggest enough margin indicating a robust system performance up to a 32 m of transmission, providing a solution addressing numerous emerging datacenter problems with high density, small footprint, and high cooling efficiency.
