This solution can be a cost savings to you.Ī: We offer SFP+ cable assemblies in wire gauges #24 through #32 to support customers’ specific cable routing requirements. Active cable assemblies are typically used in host systems that do not employ EDC. Active cable assemblies have signal amplification and equalization built into the assembly. Q: Are passive or active cable assemblies required?Ī: Passive cables have no signal amplification in the assembly and rely on host system electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) for signal amplification and equalization. We can custom engineer cable assemblies to meet the requirements of your specific system architecture. Q: What are the performance requirements for the cable assembly?Ī: Our SFP+ copper passive and active cable assemblies meet the signal integrity requirements defined by the industry MSA SFF-8431. This design reduces board space and is an alternative solution to stacked connectors.

TE does recommend an application tooling for the ganged and stacked assemblies.Ī: Cages are offered in a press-fit and solder tail PCB termination for most styles.Ī: Belly-to-belly mounting allows a customer to install connectors and cages on both sides of a PCB. As these are standard products, the cable assembly will also be compatible between the systems – an SFP copper cable assembly can be inserted to a SFP+ cage and mate with a SFP+ connector on the board.Ī: Single port assemblies do not require application tooling, a flat rock process can be used.

Q: Are the SFP, SFP+ and zSFP+ products backward compatible?Ī: Yes, in most cases the connector and cable assembly are all backward compatible – an SFP+ connector is a direct replacement for a SFP connector to ensure simple upgrade to customer systems. Please check with the local TE representative for the answer on your exact part or application. TE and Molex are providing drop-in replacement zSFP+ products to the market, but other SFP28 solutions may not be compatible. The ganged SFP versions are not compatible with all other sources. In general, all single port SFP cages are designed to an industry standard.

The SL Modular Connector System provides a wide range of variations and are compatible with some C-Grid and KK products, making it a versatile solution to meet a wide range of design needs.Q: Is the footprint for TE’s SFP products compatible with other suppliers' products?Ī: It depends.

With constantly changing demands in the consumer products marketplace, designers need to respond quickly but available components often create design limitations. The connector position assurance (CPA) feature reinforces the positive-lock mating interface, ensuring the thumb latch will not disengage due to high vibration or moving parts. The SL Modular System, with an integrated terminal position assurance (TPA) lock, more than doubles the retention force of terminals in their housings. The comprehensive SL Modular Connector System, now includes high-temperature LCP headers that are reflow process capable to enable the automation of termination on PCBs and reduce labor costs.Īs electronic components decrease in size and increase in mobility, customers in consumer, automotive and medical industries need added assurance that terminals will not back out, and that plugs and receptacles will not disengage in high-vibration environments. As consumer electronics become more prevalent, contract manufacturers (CMs) are continually being driven to produce more devices at lower costs.
