Amphenol Commercial ExpressPort® QSFP+ Connectors

Amphenol Commercial ExpressPort® QSFP+ Connectors feature a 38-position, 0.8mm pitch SMT connector and a press-fit cage. With four channels of data in one pluggable, the system interface is capable of transferring data up to 16Gb/s per channel and replacing up to four standard SFP+ receptacles. These features result in greater port density and overall cost-effectiveness over traditional SFP+ products. Supported standards include Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, and SONET/SDH with different data rate options. The Amphenol ExpressPort QSFP+ inerconnect system includes cages in single, ganged, and stacked configurations. Multiple heat sink options support various thermal requirements.
