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 explanation appears simple to understand. It is designed to accommodate future networks' increasing data rate demands, specifically the 400G Ethernet. Each module needs a small but precise set of support ICs — multi-voltage conversion, hot-plug load switching, rail supervision, and signal level shifting.
