Designed for air-cooled switches, especially traditional rack-mounted Ethernet switches. Improves cooling efficiency in airflow channels, ensuring
Combining the thermal characteristics of both finned-top and flat-top designs, it is suitable for air-cooled switches, liquid-cooling systems, or environments where dust protection is required.
An OSFP/OSFP800 or OSFP1600 module (see section 3, section 4 and section 11) includes an air-cooled integrated heatsink (IHS) with a closed top (see section 3.3) or an open top (see section 3.4),
Finned Top OSFP-IHS works well in traditional air-cooled switches with strong, uniform airflow. Closed Top OSFP-IHS is preferred in high-density switches where airflow control and
Q: Can I use OSFP-RHS in an air-cooled Ethernet switch? A: Generally no. Air-cooled Ethernet switches require the IHS (finned-top) variant because the module itself must dissipate heat. Using RHS
