First Vertical Line Card Connector OSFP-VLC
Stand 7
28th June 2023

VLC allows higher transmission speed with higher density by a vertical line card. Vertical I/O connectors and ASIC are mounted side by side to shorten the signal trace distance within 3” to 4”, all while taking advantage of the existing mature technology (module, board assembly process and 112G signal transmission technology) in the market. It decreases the number of necessary boards and makes room for a cooling space which leads to much lower power consumption and increased cooling efficiency.
