OSFP is a new pluggable form factor that supports eight high-speed electrical lanes that will initially support 400 Gbps (8x50G or 4x100G). It is slightly broader and deeper than the QSFP-DD but still supports 32 OSFP ports per 1U front panel and 14. This specification defines the electrical connectors, electrical signals and power supplies, and mechanical and thermal requirements of the OSFP and OSFP-RHS module, connector, and cage systems. The OSFP management interface is described in a separate document: “Common Management Interface. Our active optical cable assembly portfolio provides improved cable flexibility and longer reach as compared to both traditional passive copper and emerging active copper (ACC/AEC) solutions, supporting high performance computing, data center and networking interconnect applications. This document provides a common.
