Superior SFP+ Cage Connector 2X6 Stacked S2N3G23000BA4

Product Overview

As a core component of Vitalconn’s high-speed portfolio, the S2N3G23000BA4 is engineered to empower AI computing, 5G infrastructure, and cloud-network convergence. This 12-port stacked assembly allows server OEMs to maximize vertical bandwidth in a compact footprint, serving as a robust physical foundation for hyperscale data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.

Product Specifications

• Part Number: S2N3G23000BA4.
• Port Configuration: 2×6 Stacked (12 ports total).
• Manufacturing Precision: High-precision engineering with general tolerances reaching .XXX±0.10.
• Connection Technology: Optimized for Press-Fit high-reliability mounting.
• Signal Integrity: Strictly controls electromagnetic crosstalk between ports (<-40dB@10GHz).
• Compatibility: Fully supports hot-plug and Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM).

Product Features

• Superior EMI Shielding: Features 360-degree full-circumference grounding springs made of high-performance beryllium copper and precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation and ensure zero packet loss.
• Advanced Thermal Management: The open-frame structure acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” measured to reduce transceiver operating core temperatures by 5-8°C through enhanced natural air convection.
• Press-Fit High Reliability: Utilizes mechanical interlocking that provides a FIT (Failure In Time) value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering, making it “fearless” in harsh outdoor environments.
• Backward Compatibility: Natively supports 10G/25G speeds while remaining backward compatible with standard SFP modules to protect existing capital investments.

Applications

• AI Infrastructure: Massive data throughput for AI training clusters and real-time inference centers.
• 5G Communications: Stable physical-layer connections for base station AAU/DU units in outdoor environments.
• Cloud Data Centers: High-density ToR (Top-of-Rack) access and core-layer switch interconnects.
• Industrial & Telecom: Reliable physical connectivity for rail transit signal systems and aerospace electronic equipment.

Packing Details

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

FAQ

Q1: How does the 2×6 stacked configuration benefit high-density server rack designs? A: The 2×6 design provides a total of 12 ports in a single, compact footprint, doubling the vertical port count compared to single-row cages. This allows cloud providers and server OEMs to utilize compact server designs while significantly increasing the total bandwidth per rack unit.

Q2: Is this product reliable for mission-critical use in harsh outdoor environments? A: Absolutely. By utilizing Press-Fit technology, the S2N3G23000BA4 avoids the thermal stress and cracking risks associated with traditional soldering. Its FIT value is 10-30 times lower than SMT alternatives, making it ideal for unattended harsh environments like 5G base stations.

Q3: Can this cage prevent my optical transceivers from performance throttling? A: Yes. The cage is designed with an open-frame top-punch array that maximizes natural air convection. Testing has shown this feature can reduce a transceiver’s operating core temperature by 5-8°C, ensuring stability even during continuous high-speed data bursts.
