Vendor-validated pairing Feasible · suboptimal (over- or under-provisioned) Future / not generally shipping
All combinations are SerDes-compatible with the H5-64O (Tomahawk 5): 800G OSFP cages run 4×200G PAM4 (CX8) or break out to 2×400G as 4×100G PAM4 (CX7 / Thor2). Compatibility is about vendor validation, host PCIe generation, and bandwidth balance — not signaling.
