Product Features

Superior EMI Shielding: Features multi-point beryllium copper grounding springs for 360-degree low-impedance connections and precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation.
Advanced Thermal Management: The open-frame structure acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” reducing transceiver operating core temperatures by 5-8°C.
Press-Fit High Reliability: Utilizes mechanical interlocking that offers a FIT (Failure In Time) value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering, making it ideal for harsh outdoor environments.
Low Latency Transmission: Optimized internal structures strictly control electromagnetic crosstalk (<-40dB@10GHz) to support microsecond-level 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 and real-time inference centers.
Enterprise Networks: Core network upgrades and storage networks requiring business continuity.

Packing Details

Components are packaged in blister trays. To ensure maximum component protection and shipping efficiency, adjacent blisters are placed at a 180-degree horizontal orientation relative to each other.

FAQ

Q1: What are the primary advantages of the 2×8 stacked port configuration? A: The 2×8 configuration provides a total of 16 ports in a single assembly, doubling the vertical port density compared to single-row designs. This allows equipment manufacturers to maximize bandwidth in limited rack space, which is critical for hyperscale cloud data centers.

Q2: How does the Press-Fit technology improve long-term reliability? A: Press-Fit technology uses a cold-press mechanical connection that fundamentally eliminates the risk of solder joint cracking caused by thermal stress or vibration. This results in a connection that is 10-30 times more reliable than traditional soldering, ensuring a stable lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure.

Q3: Can this cage assembly help manage the heat generated by high-speed transceivers? A: Yes. The cage features an open-frame top-punch array and optional high-conductivity heat spreaders that maximize natural air convection. These features have been measured to reduce the core temperature of transceivers by 5-8°C, preventing performance throttling and extending component life.
