TE 2170409-5 Compatible F-tone FT21BC01101 2x1 Stacked SFP+ Cage Technical Overview

The FT21BC01101 is a direct footprint-compatible 2x1 stacked SFP+ cage assembly featuring an integrated electrical host connector and dual outer/inner lightpipes engineered as an alternative solution for TE Connectivity 2170409-5 applications in high-density 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel systems. Featuring solderless press-fit PCB mounting, copper alloy construction with 30µ" plating, and external metallic EMI springs, it delivers vertical 2-port I/O consolidation, independent optical LED link status diagnostics, and low transfer impedance panel grounding for enterprise switches, SAN storage directors, and industrial telecom infrastructure.

  • Mechanical Form Factor: 2x1 Stacked 2-Port Vertical SFP+ Receptacle Cage Assembly with pre-installed outer and inner optical lightpipe channels (2.490" L x 0.551" W x 1.005" H / 63.25mm L x 14.00mm W x 25.53mm H).
  • Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for 10GbE optical transceivers, 16G Fibre Channel modules, and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables operating up to 16 Gb/s (SFF-8431).
  • Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit termination, specifically tailored for heavy-duty 2.36mm [.093 in] thick enterprise PCB substrates.
  • Alternative Sourcing Option: FT21BC01101 provides a direct physical, mechanical, and electrical drop-in replacement for TE Connectivity 2170409-5 to support multi-source procurement strategies and BOM cost optimization.

TE 2170409-5 Compatible F-tone FT21BC01101 Product Overview

FT21BC01101 (TE Connectivity 2170409-5 equivalent) is an integrated 2x1 stacked SFP+ receptacle and cage assembly featuring outer and inner lightpipe optics, external perimeter metallic EMI spring gaskets, premium copper alloy 30µ" construction, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for vertical port expansion on thick multi-layer line cards in enterprise core switches, SAN storage arrays, and industrial networking enclosures, this 2-port stacked assembly integrates the electrical card-edge receptacle inside the cage body, eliminating secondary SMT host connector reflow operations (-40°C to +85°C).
