Abstract
An adapter for a communication transceiver is provided. The adapter includes a main body having a first end and opposed second end. The first end of the main body has an OSFP (octal small form factor pluggable) edge connector arranged for electrical and physical connection to an OSFP host connector in an OSFP host port. The main body has a QSFP (quad small form factor pluggable) host connector arranged to receive a QSFP edge connector of a QSFP transceiver through the second end of the main body so that the adapter adapts the QSFP transceiver to an OSFP host. A method of using a communication adapter is also provided.
