Amphenol Commercial OSFP Interconnect System

The Amphenol Commercial OSFP Interconnect System provides a seamless interface for systems sensitive to signal integrity, particularly in high-speed applications. It offers up to 60 contacts per port, each having a 0.6 mm pitch. There are eight high-speed channels and it offers an optimized footprint to ensure low crosstalk. 

Moreover, it features carbon-fiber-reinforced material for ground commoning to dampen resonance. The module also offers heat management features and is ideal for networking applications and devices including switches, hubs, servers, and cellular infrastructure devices. 

Enables High-Speed Transmission using Multiple Transmission Modes

The Amphenol Commercial OSFP Interconnect System provides a flexible communication platform featuring two distinct data transmission methods. These methods are designed to facilitate high-speed communication making them ideal for networking and cellular connectivity applications. The interconnect system supports two encoding techniques:

• PAM4 -Pulse Amplitude Modulation - Quadruple

• NRZ - No Return Zero 

The PAM4 system supports the transmission for up to 56 Gb/s per channel. The system uses four-level pulse amplitude modulation to facilitate high-speed computing and next-gen networking applications that involve up to 112Gb/s per channel transmission speeds.

The NRZ encoding transmission supports up to 25Gb/s per channel. This technique is used to maintain a constant voltage level during the bit period. It’s a simpler technique compared to the PAM4 and is mainly used for Ethernet connections, telecommunications, and data storage systems. 

Moreover, the interconnect system offers up to 200G / 400G aggregate bandwidth capacity which offers numerous advantages such as:

• Support for increasing networking and IoT devices.

• Flawless video and file transmissions

• Enhancing network capacity for future growth 

• Increased networking efficiency  

• Faster loading time and ability to handle larger networking traffic.

Reliable Performance with Secure Data Transmission Hardware Features

The Amphenol Commercial OSFP Interconnect System features a robust set of hardware to enhance signal integrity and ensure reliable communication, especially for the commercial sector. For instance, it is compatible with most mating connectors and can be easily integrated into cage configurations, including:

• Single Port - connecting individual devices directly to networking devices, ideal for small and cost-effective networks

• Ganged - Connecting two or more standalone switches via Ethernet cables where each switch works independently

• Stacked - Connecting multiple switches to a single logical unit, ideal for resource-sharing applications. 

Moreover, the device offers efficient power management with up to 16 watts per port. It also offers a robust resonance-dampening mechanism thanks to its carbon-fiber-reinforced material. The internal grounding features also reduce noise and improve crosstalk performance over QSFP28 to facilitate hot-swapping and multi-lane applications. 

The Amphenol Commercial OSFP Interconnect System has an eco-friendly design. It’s Halogen-free and RoHS compliant and can withstand environmental temperatures ranging from -20 to +85 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal option for commercial setups like server rooms, data centers, and network centers.
