摘要

Designed from the ground up for higher speeds, the OSFP IO system from Amphenol ICC is an industry-standard eight-transmission lane-based connector, cage and cable (copper and optical) interconnect system. What's significant is that it is designed to support present and future aggregate per port bandwidth needs from 200G and 400G to 800G and takes into account the requirements of mechanical robustness, electrical performance, and thermal management.In addition, the highly integrated system features a complete I/O system that offers fully shielded connectors and cages in multiple configurations (ganged and stacked) that accept both copper-based and optical-based interconnect components (cables, transceivers, etc.) as well as passive and active copper cables and active optical cables (AOC). Because the system design addresses the necessary mechanical, electrical, and thermal requirements, designers can plug in short-length (cables) or short-range/long-range optical transceivers without worrying about proper system thermalmanagement or the capability to accept any of the media.Other features include dual eight-pair or single 16-pair wire support, 32 AWG-26 AWG cable sizes, 15-W single-port dissipative heat capacity, and integrated heat-sink and airflow channels as part of the module design.
