It provides a flexible, evolution-ready architectural foundation that is natively backward compatible with standard SFP modules to protect existing infrastructure investments.

Product Specifications

• Part Number: S2N3B23004BA4.
• Port Configuration: 2×2 Stacked (4 ports total).
• Data Rate Support: Optimized for 10Gbps to 25Gbps per-channel speed spectrums.
• Manufacturing Precision: Features high-precision engineering with general tolerances reaching as tight as .XXX±0.10.
• Mechanical Integrity: Validated through mating cycle life, vibration, and thermal shock testing.
• Mounting Technology: Optimized for Press-Fit high-reliability mechanical interlocking.

Product Features

• Superior EMI Shielding: Utilizes high-performance beryllium copper grounding springs for a 360-degree full-circumference low-impedance connection and precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation, ensuring zero packet loss.
• Advanced Thermal Management: Features an open-frame structure with a precision top-punch array that acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” measured to reduce transceiver core temperatures by 5-8°C through enhanced natural air convection.
• Press-Fit High Reliability: Employs mechanical interlocking that fundamentally eliminates solder joint failure risks, offering a FIT (Failure In Time) value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering.
• Intelligent Monitoring: Fully supports hot-plug capabilities and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status tracking and simplified maintenance.

Applications

• Data Centers: High-density server access and Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch interconnects.

• AI Infrastructure: Massive data throughput support for intelligent computing centers and AI training clusters.
• Industrial & Telecom: Reliable connectivity for industrial automation, rail transit signal systems, and aerospace electronic equipment.

Packing Details

Following standard high-protection protocols, these components are packaged in protective trays. To ensure maximum component safety and shipping efficiency, adjacent components within the tray are placed at a 180-degree horizontal orientation relative to each other.

FAQ

Q1: How does the 2×2 stacked configuration benefit modern server designs? A: The 2×2 design provides 4 ports in a compact footprint, doubling the vertical port count compared to single-row cages. This allows manufacturers to increase total bandwidth per rack unit while saving precious PCB real estate.

Q2: Is the S2N3B23004BA4 reliable for use in unattended outdoor environments? A: Yes. By utilizing Press-Fit technology, the product uses mechanical interlocking rather than solder, eliminating risks of solder joint cracking from thermal stress or vibration. It offers a failure rate 10-30 times lower than traditional soldering, making it ideal for 5G base stations.

Q3: Can this cage prevent my optical transceivers from performance throttling? A: Absolutely. The “open-frame” design maximizes natural air convection, which has been measured to lower the core temperature of transceivers by 5-8°C. This prevents thermal-induced performance drops and ensures stable operation during massive data bursts.
