The OSFP is a new pluggable form factor with eight high speed electrical lanes that will initially support 400 Gbps (8x50G). It is slightly wider and deeper than the QSFP but it still supports 32 OSFP ports per 1U front panel, enabling 12. The Cisco ® OSFP 800G transceiver modules provide 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE), 2x 400GE, 4x 200GE, and 8x 100GE connectivity options, complying with the Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) MSA for pluggable transceivers. CDFP AOC/SR16 Featuring Coolbit Optical. This specification defines the electrical connectors, electrical signals and power supplies, and 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. The main competing form factors are QSFP-DD, OSFP, and CFP8. 400G Optics Form Factors shows a comparison between the said three form factors. There will be applications and solutions that will utilize one of these QSFP-DD, OSFP, or CFP8 form factors to. Being the smallest of commercially available 400G form factors, QSFP-DD provides the greatest bandwidth density in the market while offering compatibility to various lower-speed QSFP pluggable transceivers and cables as well. QSFP-DD is frequently compared with other optical modules such as OSFP. Both QSFP-DD and OSFP are designed for intra-DC application including DAC, AOC and optical connection up to 2km.
