Why Would it be 32 OSFP Ports on the 64 400G Ports Switch?

OSFP can support up to 400G data transmission speed and split a 400G port into two or four 200G or 100G ports by port splitting technology.

OSFP is a new type of fiber optic transceiver module, which can support up to 400Gb data transmission speed. Moreover, it can split a 400G port into two or four 200G or 100G ports by port-splitting technology. In this way, the switch can provide higher port density and flexibility in limited space to meet different network requirements and topologies.
