S202H23006BA4

Product Overview

This product features a 2×8 stacked (ganged) configuration, providing a total of 16 ports in a compact footprint to allow server OEMs and cloud providers to maximize rack space. As part of the Vitalconn SFP+ series, it serves as a market-proven architectural foundation for enterprise core networks and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.

Product Specifications

Part Number: S202H23006BA4.
Configuration: 2×8 Stacked (16 ports).
Data Rate Support: Optimized for SFP+ (10G) and SFP28 (25G) speed spectrums.
Manufacturing Tolerance: High-precision engineering with general tolerances reaching .XXX±0.10.
Interface Compatibility: Backward compatible with standard SFP modules to protect existing infrastructure investments.

Product Features

Advanced Thermal Management: Utilizes an open-frame structure that acts as a “dedicated air conditioner” for transceivers, reducing core temperatures by 5-8°C through enhanced air convection.
Superior EMI Shielding: Features multi-point beryllium copper grounding springs for a 360-degree low-impedance connection, coupled with precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation.
Press-Fit High Reliability: Uses mechanical interlocking that fundamentally eliminates solder joint failure risks, offering a FIT value 10-30x lower than traditional SMT soldering.
Zero-Packet-Loss Signal Integrity: Strictly controls electromagnetic crosstalk between ports (<-40dB@10GHz) through simulation-optimized internal structures.

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 harsh outdoor environments.
AI Infrastructure: Massive data throughput for AI training clusters and real-time inference engines.
Cloud Computing: Handles traffic surges in liquid- and air-cooled data centers with microsecond-level low latency.

Packing Details

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

FAQ

Q1: How does the 2×8 stacked design benefit high-density server environments? A: The 2×8 configuration allows for 16 high-speed ports in a single assembly, doubling the vertical port density compared to single-row cages. This enables cloud providers to build more compact server designs while significantly increasing total bandwidth per rack unit.

Q2: Can this cage handle the heat generated by 25G SFP28 transceivers? A: Yes. The cage is specifically engineered with an open-frame design and optional high-conductivity heat spreaders. Testing has shown these features can reduce the transceiver’s operating core temperature by 5-8°C, ensuring stability even during continuous high-speed data bursts.

Q3: Is this product reliable for mission-critical industrial or outdoor use? A: Absolutely. By utilizing Press-Fit technology, the S202H23006BA4 avoids the thermal stress and cracking risks associated with traditional soldering. Its FIT value is 10-30 times lower than SMT alternatives, making it “fearless” in environments subject to vibration or extreme temperature cycles.
