A: The OSFP is a pluggable form factor with 8x high speed electrical lanes that support up to 400 Gbps (8x50G), 800 Gbps (8x100G), or 1. Up to 36 OSFP ports are supported in 1 U front panel. Q: What are the variants of the OSFP form factors?OSFP-XD MSA Rev 1. and a disclaimer is added to the Other Documents section. 22:. OSFP (Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable) has become a frontrunner in the latest 400/800G capability with options to sustain this high-speed requirement as well as features for connecting to lower existing speeds and network topologies. OSFP offers a means to increase bandwidth with 400G, 800G, and. 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. Unlike the backward-compatible QSFP-DD, OSFP introduces a slightly larger mechanical form to. MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards define the mechanical, electrical, and management interfaces of optical transceivers, enabling multi-vendor interoperability, supply chain flexibility, and large-scale network deployment. The OSFP Management interface is described in a separate document, Common Management Interface Specification for 8/16X.
