Product Features

• Superior EMI Shielding: Features 360-degree full-circumference grounding springs made of high-performance beryllium copper to eliminate contact resistance and isolate interference.
• Advanced Thermal Management: The open-frame structure acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” measured to reduce transceiver core temperatures by 5-8°C through enhanced air convection.
• Press-Fit High Reliability: Utilizes mechanical interlocking that provides a FIT value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering, making it fearless in harsh outdoor environments.
• Standard Compatibility: Supports Hot-Plug and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) while remaining backward compatible with standard SFP modules.

Applications

• Data Centers: High-density ToR (Top-of-Rack) access and core-layer switch interconnects.
• 5G Communications: Stable physical-layer connections for base station AAU/DU units and edge computing nodes.
• Artificial Intelligence: Massive data exchange for AI supercomputing clusters and large-model training.
• Enterprise Networks: Reliable infrastructure for virtualization, databases, and mission-critical systems.

Packing Details

Components are packaged in blister trays. Following standard safety protocols, adjacent components within the tray are placed at a 180-degree horizontal orientation relative to each other to ensure maximum protection and space efficiency during transport.

FAQ

Q1: What are the space-saving benefits of the 2×6 stacked configuration? A: The 2×6 stacked design allows for 12 high-speed ports in a single assembly, doubling the vertical port count compared to single-row cages. This enables cloud providers to utilize compact server designs while maximizing total bandwidth per rack unit.

Q2: How does the Press-Fit technology handle vibration in 5G base stations? A: Press-Fit technology uses a cold-press mechanical connection that fundamentally eliminates the risk of solder joint cracking caused by vibration or thermal stress. Its failure rate (FIT value) is 10-30 times lower than traditional soldering, ensuring a lifetime of reliable connection in harsh outdoor environments.

Q3: Can this cage prevent performance throttling in high-speed transceivers? A: Yes. By using an open-frame top-punch array and optional high-conductivity heat spreaders, this cage reduces the core temperature of transceivers by 5-8°C. This prevents thermal buildup, allowing the equipment to unleash its peak performance during massive data throughput.
