SFP, SFP-DD, QSFP, QSFP-DD & OSFP Pluggable interconnects – a 2021 update
The 21-year-old Pluggable interconnect family is now being used for new accelerator, AV, camera, machine vision, medical, memory, NVM, and proprietary interface links. New market segment expansion seems likely to continue with link shipments rising and healthy unit forecasting. New higher speed 106G and 112G per lane pluggable products will be coming out this year, […]
Small form-factor pluggable interconnects provide high density and speed
TE Connectivity has extended its small form-factor pluggable (SFP) product portfolio with new, small form-factor pluggable double density (SFP-DD) products for input/output (I/O) interconnects. The “double density” new cages and surface mount connectors can offer two-channel data transmission, instead of the traditional one-channel in an SFP architecture, which helps data center systems to enable doubled […]
High-bandwidth interconnects save space on PCBs for rugged applications
Edge Rate high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnect systems save space on PCBs, and are designed for high-cycle, rugged applications. With some connectors, the mating edge of the contact is the cut edge of the pin. If you look at the edge of the pin under a microscope you may see micro burrs and edges. This reduces the […]
