With the development and needs of mobile data, Internet, and big data, 400G OSFP is becoming more and more popular in the market. Speaking of 400G packaging form, most people blurt out QSFP-DD, and what we introduce to you today is another 400G packaging - OSFP. Let’s follow Xiao Yi to find out more!

I.Concept analysis of OSFP optical module

OSFP (0ctal Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a new high-speed data transmission standard 400G optical module packaging type. It has 8 high-speed electrical channels and an integrated heat sink, which can greatly improve heat dissipation performance, higher transmission speed, Lower power consumption and smaller size for telecom markets, data center networks and high-performance computing applications.

II.Product types of 400G OSFP optical modules

The common product types of 400G OSFP optical modules are mainly as follows, as shown in the table below:

III.FAQs about 400G OSFP optical modules

E: Can 400G OSFP optical modules be used on QSFP-DD ports?

T: No, the two golden finger protocols are different and incompatible.

E: Can the 100G QSFP28 optical module be inserted into the OSFP port?

T: It cannot be used directly because the golden finger protocol is different.

E: In addition to OSFP optical modules, what other 400G products are currently on the market?

T: In addition to modules, there are also 400G OSFP DAC and AOC cable products.
