Spot Optical Module OSFP
OSFP (Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable) is a pluggable optical transceiver interface standard that supports eight electrical lanes (Tx/Rx) per module. Each lane can operate up to 100G PAM4, allowing total bandwidths of 400G or 800G depending on configuration. This specification defines the electrical connectors, electrical signals and power supplies, mechanical and thermal requirements of the OSFP Module, connector and cage systems. The OSFP Management interface is described in a separate document, Common Management Interface Specification for 8/16X. This article explores how OSFP transceivers deliver high-density, high-speed connectivity and how FS helps customers transition smoothly. This whitepaper highlights the key aspects and features of each solution with the expectation that both solutions will have a place in future data center applications.
