TE Connectivity QSFP 112G SMT Connectors & Cages

TE Connectivity's (TE) QSFP 112G SMT Connectors and Cages enable high-speed data transmission up to 400Gbps per port. These connectors support 112G-PAM4 modulation and offer backward compatibility for an easy upgrade path from existing solutions. The QSFP 112G connectors include an integrated thermal bridge and zipper heat sink technology to help improve superior thermal performance. With high-density configurations, these connectors fit up to 32 ports in a 1RU switch design. TE QSFP 112G connectors and cages provide additional board trace design flexibility by allowing signal traces to go between PCB layers. These connectors and cages are suitable for servers, storage systems, switches, routers, and network interface cards.
