2143432-1 QSFP Cage Connector Press-Fit Through Hole Right Angle With Light Pipe

QSFP, Cage Assembly, 1 x 1, Internal/External EMI Springs, Included Lightpipe, Standard, 1 Port, Single Round

The 2143432-1 is a premium, high-density 1x1 QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) Cage Assembly, precision-engineered to house high-speed optical and copper transceivers in mission-critical data center and telecommunications equipment. Designed for maximum architectural flexibility, this right-angle, board-mount cage provides the vital mechanical infrastructure and electromagnetic shielding required for next-generation routing and switching platforms.

To meet the rigorous signal integrity demands of high-frequency QSFP environments, the 2143432-1 is constructed from robust Nickel Silver and features specialized Internal and External EMI Springs. These springs ensure continuous, 360-degree chassis grounding at the bezel interface, critically suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and RF leakage. Furthermore, this assembly includes an integrated Single Round Lightpipe, allowing PCB designers to easily route port status LED signals from the motherboard directly to the front panel without consuming valuable bezel real estate.

Mechanically, the cage is optimized for high-yield, solderless manufacturing. It utilizes a Press-Fit termination (with a 2.2mm tail length) designed for a recommended PCB thickness of 1.45mm. This eliminates the thermal stress associated with wave soldering and perfectly supports high-density, stacked Belly-to-Belly PCB layouts.

Built to survive the harshest physical environments, the 2143432-1 boasts an extreme Operating Temperature Range of -55°C to +105°C. This aerospace-grade thermal resilience guarantees zero mechanical degradation, making it the definitive QSFP cage solution for outdoor telecom base stations, unconditioned edge computing enclosures, industrial IoT gateways, and high-density enterprise core switches.
