Product Features

Superior EMI Shielding: Features multi-point beryllium copper grounding springs for a 360-degree low-impedance electrical connection and precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation.
Advanced Thermal Management: Utilizes an open-frame structure that acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” reducing transceiver operating core temperatures by 5-8°C through enhanced natural air convection.
Press-Fit High Reliability: Offers a FIT (Failure In Time) value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering, fundamentally eliminating solder joint failure risks in harsh environments.
Zero-Packet-Loss Signal Integrity: Strictly controls electromagnetic crosstalk between ports (<-40dB@10GHz) to ensure microsecond-level low-latency data exchange.

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 in outdoor environments.
AI Infrastructure: Massive data throughput for AI training clusters supporting TB-level data exchange.
Enterprise Networks: Storage networks and core network upgrades requiring 24/7 business continuity.

Packing Details

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

FAQ

Q1: How does the 2×6 stacked configuration help with server rack density? A: The 2×6 configuration provides a total of 12 ports in a single, compact footprint, doubling the vertical port count compared to standard single-row designs. This allows cloud providers to increase bandwidth per rack unit significantly while saving precious PCB real estate.

Q2: Is this cage connector suitable for high-vibration outdoor environments like 5G stations? A: Yes. The S2N3G23004BA4 uses Press-Fit technology, which uses mechanical interlocking instead of solder. This makes the connection “fearless” in harsh environments because it avoids the thermal stress and cracking risks associated with traditional soldering, providing a 10-30x lower FIT value.

Q3: Can this product handle the heat from high-performance 25G transceivers? A: Absolutely. The cage is designed with an open-frame top-punch array and can be paired with optional high-conductivity heat spreaders. These features are measured to reduce the core temperature of the optical module by 5-8°C, ensuring peak performance without thermal throttling.
