OSFP Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are high-speed interconnects for data centers, supporting up to 800 Gbps. Using the OSFP form factor, they offer low power, high signal integrity, and longer reach than copper, making them ideal for AI, HPC, and cloud networking. The OSFP MSA is proud to introduce OSFP1600 and OSFP-XD to the industry. This whitepaper highlights the key aspects and features of each solution with the expectation that both solutions will have a place in future data center applications. The OSFP-XD solution has attracted significant interest in. Our active optical cable assembly portfolio provides improved cable flexibility and longer reach as compared to both traditional passive copper and emerging active copper (ACC/AEC) solutions, supporting high performance computing, data center and networking interconnect applications. USource is leading. Each AOC has 8 duplex channels with 850Gbit/s aggregate bandwidth. 125G baud rate, and up to 60m using OM3 fiber or 100m using OM4 fiber. The host can select Applications by programming the AppSel value in Staged Set 0.
