Pulse SFP 2x8 Connector Provides High Port Density for Lower System Cost
February 18 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Pulse, a Technitrol (NYSE: TNL) Company, a worldwide leader in
electronic component and subassembly design and manufacturing,
expands its line of connectors and cages with a 2x8,
small-form-factor-pluggable (SFP) cage for use in high-end Ethernet
networking equipment such as blade servers, switches, routers, and
add/drop multiplexers. The SFP032-L cage is used for connecting
transceivers and shielding them from electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Its high port density results in cost savings for Pulse
customers.
Several unique features of the SFP032-L cage eliminate
frequently encountered problems. The cage has a two-piece structure
to prevent deforming during press fitting. Press fitting force is
applied only to the cage�s top section, while forces on either side
of the cage are balanced so they will not twist or buckle. To
prevent interference with the transceiver, the improved EMI tab
rests on the cage so that the end does not sink into the cage when
pressed. Pulse modified the cage with a special latch to
accommodate a wide variety of transceivers and transceiver
modifications, including those with short-travel actuating slides,
which are commonly difficult to access to unlock and extract. Pulse
also increased the slot depth of the middle cage, preventing
interference with the middle cage transceiver, another common
problem.
Pulse�s new 2x8 cage measures 25.5mm high x 63.25mm deep x
114.25mm wide. The footprint is compliant with the SFP Transceiver
MultiSource Agreement (MSA) standard and is RoHS compliant. It
handles speeds up to 5 gigabits and improves connectivity in
high-density printed circuit board (PCB) environments. The cage
reduces the operating temperature of the transceiver, protects the
transceiver from EMI emissions, provides mechanical stability and
offers easy transceiver plug-in. Holes in the cage allow air
circulation and heat transfer. The cages can withstand temperatures
of minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius.
Pulse�s cages and connectors are quite versatile. They can
handle optical transceiver links as well as transceivers configured
as traditional copper RJ45 connectors, enabling conformity to each
company's internal networking requirements for balancing load and
bandwidth.
�Pulse continues to expand its line of connectors and cages to
improve the performance and reliability of the transceivers, and
thus the network they are connecting,� said Michael Cheng, director
of connector research and development at Pulse. �Our unique
construction makes these cages more rugged and compatible with a
wide variety of commercial transceivers.�
Pulse�s SFP032-L cage is available in tray packaging with prices
starting around $40.00 each. Volume discounts are available.
Individual part pricing may vary due to order configuration and
shipping destination. Lead time is six weeks. Contact Pulse
directly for samples. Detailed specifications are available on
