1. An Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) optical transceiver comprising:
an integral body defining:
a first end configured to engage the OSFP optical transceiver with a datacenter rack; and
a second end opposite the first end;
a first socket defined by the second end and integrated into an optical port of the OSFP optical transceiver, the first socket configured to receive a first Multi-fiber Push On (MPO) receptacle that terminates a proximal end of a first plurality of fibers;
a second socket adjacent the first socket, defined by the second end, and integrated into the optical port of the OSFP optical transceiver, wherein the second socket is adapted to receive a second MPO receptacle that terminates a proximal end of a second plurality of fibers, and
a first optical connection between the first socket and the first end so as to provide optical communication between the datacenter rack and the first MPO; and
a second optical connection between the second socket and the first end so as to provide optical communication between the datacenter rack and the second MPO.
