F-tone FT22BC01101 2x2 Stacked SFP+ Cage Connector Technical Overview
The FT22BC01101 is an industry-standard 2x2 stacked SFP+ 4-port cage assembly featuring integrated inner and outer optical lightpipes engineered for high-density 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel networking platforms. Constructed from 0.25mm high-conductivity copper alloy with nickel plating and utilizing solderless press-fit PCB mounting, it provides quad-port vertical and horizontal I/O consolidation, independent optical LED link diagnostics, and resilient chassis EMI grounding for enterprise switches, SAN storage directors, and industrial telecom infrastructure.
- Mechanical Form Factor: 2x2 Stacked 4-Port SFP+ Cage Assembly with integrated inner/outer optical lightpipes (2.490" L x 1.142" W x 1.005" H / 63.25mm L x 29.00mm 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 with 0.25mm nickel-plated copper alloy body for high contact normal force.
- Cross-Reference Sourcing: Direct footprint-compatible alternative to industry 2x2 stacked SFP+ cage assemblies from TE Connectivity, Molex, and Amphenol for supply chain diversification.
F-tone FT22BC01101 SFP+ Cage Connector Product Overview
FT22BC01101 is a 2x2 stacked SFP+ cage assembly featuring integrated inner and outer lightpipe optics, metallic EMI shielding springs, 0.25mm nickel-plated copper alloy construction, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for quad-port density expansion on multi-layer line cards in enterprise core switches, SAN storage arrays, and industrial networking enclosures, this 4-port stacked assembly routes board-mounted LED light cleanly to front faceplate indicator ports while providing 360-degree EMI shielding across an extended industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Key Benefits of F-tone FT22BC01101 SFP+ Cage Connector
- Ultra-High 2x2 Quad-Port Density Consolidation: Arranges four SFP+ ports in a 2-row by 2-column matrix, doubling front-panel port capacity per linear inch of faceplate width on 1RU/2RU switch line cards.
- Integrated Inner/Outer LightPipe Optics: Pre-assembled dual-channel optical lightpipes guide SMT LED light from the PCB to the front panel, providing clear visual link and activity status diagnostics for all four stacked ports without light bleeding.
- Durable 0.25mm Nickel-Plated Copper Alloy Body: Constructed from 0.25mm thick copper alloy with premium nickel plating, providing low transfer contact resistance, superior wear resistance over repeated module insertion cycles, and enhanced structural stiffness.
- Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit Integration: Precision press-fit compliant pins enable automated board insertion without subjecting sensitive motherboard substrates and adjacent SMT components to solder reflow thermal stress.
- Extended Industrial Operating Envelope (-40°C to +85°C): Built for long-term electrical and mechanical reliability in demanding enterprise data centers, outdoor telecom cabinets, and edge compute environments.
- Multi-Source Drop-In Compatibility: Standard SFP+ MSA mechanical footprint enables seamless deployment alongside original OEM equipment for BOM cost optimization and lead-time reduction.
