Product Features

Advanced Thermal Management: Features an open-frame structure with a precision top-punch array that acts as a “dedicated air conditioner,” measured to reduce transceiver core temperatures by 5-8°C.
Superior EMI Shielding: Utilizes multi-point beryllium copper grounding springs for a 360-degree low-impedance connection and precision shielding fingers to block high-frequency radiation.
High Reliability Press-Fit: Employs mechanical interlocking that offers a FIT (Failure In Time) value 10-30x lower than traditional soldering, making it ideal for harsh outdoor environments.
Zero-Packet-Loss Signal Integrity: Strictly controls electromagnetic crosstalk between ports (<-40dB@10GHz) through simulation-optimized internal structures.

Applications

Data Centers: High-density server access, ToR (Top-of-Rack) switch interconnects, and cloud computing backbone networks.
5G Communications: Stable physical-layer connections for base station AAU/DU units and edge computing nodes.
Artificial Intelligence: Massive data throughput for AI training clusters and real-time inference engines.
Industrial & Telecom: Reliable connectivity for rail transit signal systems and aerospace electronic equipment.

Packing Details

Following standard high-protection protocols for stacked interconnect solutions, components are packaged in protective trays. To ensure maximum component safety and shipping efficiency, adjacent units within the packaging are placed at a 180-degree horizontal orientation relative to each other.

FAQ

Q1: How does the S7N3D23004CA4 facilitate the 10G-to-25G network evolution? A: This product allows data centers to achieve a speed jump to 25G with virtually no increase in physical size or power consumption. This enables a smooth upgrade path that maximizes existing rack space while doubling per-channel bandwidth.

Q2: Can this cage assembly prevent performance throttling in high-speed optical modules? A: Yes. The “open-frame” design maximizes natural air convection, which has been measured to lower the core temperature of transceivers by 5-8°C. This ensures the equipment can operate stably at peak performance without thermal-induced data drops.

Q3: Is the Press-Fit technology better than traditional soldering for 5G base stations? A: Press-Fit technology is significantly more reliable for harsh environments because it uses cold-press mechanical connections that eliminate the risk of solder joint cracking from thermal stress or vibration. It offers a failure rate 10-30 times lower than traditional SMT soldering.
