Standard Heatsinks in Optical Modules

To address rising module power—often exceeding 30W—the OSFP MSA defines two thermal designs: Integrated Heat Sink (IHS) and Riding Heat Sink (RHS). Optical transceivers (SFP, QSFP, OSFP, etc. Without proper dissipation, junction temperatures can exceed 85°C, causing: With module power budgets reaching 15–20 W (OSFP 800G), thermal design is critical for bo...
