Product Features

Superior EMI Shielding: Employs multi-point grounding springs and precision shielding fingers to establish a 360-degree full-circumference low-impedance electrical connection, effectively isolating interference.
Advanced Thermal Management: Utilizes an open-frame structure with a top-punch array that acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” measured to reduce transceiver core temperatures by 5-8°C.
High Reliability Architecture: Validated through rigorous electrical and mechanical testing, including vibration, thermal shock, and mating cycle life tests.
Low-Latency Performance: Internal structures are simulation-optimized to strictly control electromagnetic crosstalk (<-40dB@10GHz), supporting microsecond-level data exchange.

Applications

Data Centers: Ideal for high-density Top-of-Rack (ToR) access and core-layer switch interconnects.
5G Communications: Stable physical-layer connections for base station AAU/DU units and edge computing nodes.
AI Infrastructure: Reliable data throughput for intelligent computing centers and AI training clusters.
Enterprise Networks: A high-value choice for core network modernization and storage area networks (SAN).

Packing Details

Following Vitalconn’s high-protection protocols, these components are packaged in blister trays. To ensure maximum component safety and shipping efficiency, adjacent components or trays within the packaging are placed at a 180-degree horizontal orientation relative to each other.

FAQ

Q1: How does the 2×1 stacked design benefit server rack space? A: The 2×1 stacked configuration doubles the vertical port count within a single, compact footprint. This allows equipment manufacturers to maximize bandwidth density per rack unit while saving precious PCB real estate compared to individual single-port cages.

Q2: Can the S2N3A23000BA4 handle the heat generated by modern 10G transceivers? A: Yes. The cage is specifically designed with an “open-frame” structure that maximizes natural air convection. This passive cooling solution has been measured to lower the operating temperature of transceiver cores by 5-8°C, preventing performance throttling during massive data throughput.

Q3: Is this product compatible with older 1G SFP equipment? A: Absolutely. The SFP+ series is built with backward compatibility for standard SFP modules. This allows for the smooth reuse of existing infrastructure while providing an evolution-ready path to 10G speeds.
