F-tone FT24BC01001 2x4 Stacked SFP+ Cage Connector Technical Overview
The F-tone FT24BC01001 is an industry-standard 2x4 stacked SFP+ 8-port octal cage assembly featuring a lightpipe-free low-profile footprint engineered for high-density 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel networking platforms. Constructed from high-conductivity nickel-plated copper alloy and utilizing solderless press-fit PCB mounting, it provides octal-port vertical and horizontal I/O consolidation, maximum airflow clearance, and resilient chassis EMI grounding for enterprise switches, SAN storage directors, and industrial telecom infrastructure.
- Mechanical Form Factor: 2x4 Stacked 8-Port SFP+ Cage Assembly in a streamlined lightpipe-free profile (2.490" L x 2.264" W x 0.998" H / 63.25mm L x 57.50mm W x 25.36mm 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 nickel-plated copper alloy body for high contact normal force.
- Cross-Reference Sourcing: Direct footprint-compatible alternative to industry 2x4 stacked SFP+ cage assemblies from TE Connectivity, Molex, and Amphenol for supply chain diversification.
F-tone FT24BC01001 SFP+ Cage Connector Product Overview
FT24BC01001 is a 2x4 stacked SFP+ cage assembly featuring a lightpipe-free low profile design, metallic EMI shielding springs, nickel-plated copper alloy construction, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for octal-port density expansion on multi-layer line cards in enterprise core switches, SAN storage arrays, and industrial networking enclosures, this 8-port stacked assembly maximizes thermal forced-airflow clearance while providing 360-degree EMI shielding across an extended industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Key Benefits of F-tone FT24BC01001 SFP+ Cage Connector
- Maximum 2x4 Octal 8-Port Density Consolidation: Arranges eight SFP+ ports in a 2-row by 4-column matrix, dramatically increasing front-panel I/O capacity per linear inch of faceplate width on 1RU/2RU switch line cards.
- Streamlined Lightpipe-Free Low-Profile Design: Flat top profile eliminates lightpipe optic channels, maximizing vertical clearance for chassis forced airflow and simplified front-panel faceplate overlays.
- Durable Nickel-Plated Copper Alloy Body: Constructed from high-conductivity copper alloy with premium nickel plating, providing low transfer contact resistance, superior wear resistance over repeated module insertion cycles, and enhanced structural stiffness.
- 360-Degree External EMI Spring Shielding: Perimeter metallic spring fingers establish resilient contact force across the wide 57.50mm bezel cutout for consistent high-frequency grounding and EMC performance.
- 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.
- 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.
