SFP Plus 2X1 Cage and Connector S2N3A23000BA4(Cross out TE CONNECTIVITY S2N3A23000BA4)

Product Overview

This product provides a combined mechanical and electrical interface for SFP+ modules. As a “Cage + Connector” assembly, it simplifies the manufacturing process by providing a pre-integrated unit that ensures precise alignment between the EMI shielding cage and the internal high-speed connector. The design follows standard SFP+ form factors, making it compatible with a wide range of industry-standard transceivers.

Product Specifications

• Product Type: SFP+ 2X1 Cage + Connector.
• Configuration: 2-Port Stacked (1×2).
• General Tolerances: .X±0.20, .XX±0.15, .XXX±0.10.

Product Features

• Stacked Port Design: Features two ports in a vertical 2X1 stack to maximize port density on the network interface.
• Integrated Assembly: Combines the metal cage and the high-speed connector into a single part number for easier procurement and assembly.
• High-Speed Performance: Designed to meet SFP+ specifications for enhanced data throughput compared to standard SFP interfaces.
• Precision Engineering: Manufactured with tight general tolerances (down to ±0.10mm) to ensure reliable module mating.

Applications

Based on its SFP+ 2X1 configuration, typical applications include:

• High-density network switches and routers.
• Enterprise-level servers and storage area networks (SAN).
• Telecommunications transmission equipment.
• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) switches.

Packing Details

While specific quantity details for this model are not explicitly detailed in the S2N3A23000BA4 source text, the manufacturer (Vitalconn) utilizes Tray Packaging for its SFP product line to ensure the protection of the integrated connector pins and the structural integrity of the cage during transport.

FAQ

Q1. What is the advantage of the 2X1 stacked configuration?

A1: The 2X1 configuration allows for two SFP+ ports to occupy the horizontal footprint of a single port on the PCB. This is critical for high-density networking equipment where faceplate space is limited.

Q2. Does this product include both the cage and the connector?

A2: Yes, as indicated by the title “CAGE+CONNECTOR” in the technical specifications, this is an integrated assembly. This ensures that the internal connector is perfectly aligned with the cage opening for seamless module insertion.

Q3. Is this product compatible with standard SFP modules?

A3: Because this is an SFP+ cage and connector, it is physically compatible with standard SFP modules. However, it is specifically optimized for the higher data rates required by SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) applications.
