This is the "failure" of us (the business) choosing QSFP as the de-factor formfactor for 100G, there is not power in that cage to make 10km+ optics in an easy way. If we would have pushed for CFP4 as the "last" formfactor in 100G land we would be much better off.
How about OSFP? The OSFP MSA has a large number of backers, including Juniper, Arista, Finisar and Google. It's the vendors that chose to go for QSFP due to the density options in a single RU chassis. Thanks, Sabri
