Unboxing the 1.6T OSFP Transceiver: State-of-the-Art Optics for the AI Era

1.6 Tbps in a single OSFP — and it terminates in four LC connectors. 🚀

Our System Engineer Welly is back in the EPS Global Switch Lab in Dublin with the latest episode of our Unboxing Open Networking series — this time getting hands-on with a state-of-the-art 1.6T OSFP transceiver built for the AI era.

In the blog, we cover: ✅ Up to 2 km reach over single-mode fiber ✅ A first-of-its-kind 4x LC connector design ✅ Full CMIS compliance with DDM telemetry to the host switch ✅ Support for both Ethernet and InfiniBand AI fabrics

Paired with Broadcom Tomahawk 6-based switches delivering 102.4 Tbps, this is one of the practical building blocks of the 1.6T era — and it's shipping today.
