Dutch Optical Line Terminal OSFP

The OSFP footprint is optimized for signal integrity performance and built for use in high-speed serial applications. The connectors are enhanced for low crosstalk and have ground commoning for resonance dampening. They are also designed for 1U applications. TE's Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) connectors and cable assemblies support aggregate data rates from 200 Gbps up to 1. 6T, enabling data center architectures to scale with evolving bandwidth and performance requirements. Designed to support 28G NRZ, 56G PAM4, 112G PAM4, and 224G PAM4. 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. The Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable (OSFP) Connector System provides up to 224Gbps PAM-4 per lane, single- or dual-port, 8- or 16-lane connectivity. These products are designed for both 28G NRZ and 56G PAM-4 protocols, with a roadmap. Q: What is the difference between NRZ and PAM-4 signaling in OSFP connectors? OSFP (Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable) is the high-density, hot-pluggable connector for 400G and 800G Ethernet. It uses 8 lanes at 50G PAM4 (400G) or 100G PAM4 (800G) with a 60-pin edge connector.
