Featuring solderless press-fit PCB mounting and 360-degree metallic EMI spring gaskets, this component provides reliable mechanical retention, electromagnetic containment, and optical link diagnostics for 400G (8x50G) and 800G (8x100G) PAM4 optical networking architectures in AI supercomputing clusters and data center switching fabrics.
- Mechanical Form Factor: 1x4 Ganged Single-Row 4-Port OSFP (Octal Small Form-factor Pluggable) Cage Assembly with integrated optical lightpipe channels.
- Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for OSFP systems supporting 112Gb/s PAM4 per-lane signaling architectures based on OSFP MSA mechanical requirements and IEEE 802.3ck Ethernet standards (up to 800 Gbps per port).
- Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit connection (Compliant pin structure to avoid additional solder reflow thermal exposure).
- Cross-Reference Sourcing: Footprint-compatible alternative options are available from LINK-PP for supply chain diversification and BOM cost optimization.
TE Connectivity 1-2338495-3 OSFP Cage Assembly Product Overview
TE Connectivity 1-2338495-3 is a 1x4 ganged OSFP cage assembly featuring integrated lightpipes, 360-degree metallic EMI shielding springs, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for high-density optical transceivers in AI/HPC fabrics, cloud switching routers, and telecom transport systems, this 4-port ganged assembly provides mechanical module retention, low transfer impedance EMI containment, and PCB mounting support for OSFP optical transceiver interfaces including 400G and 800G Ethernet applications.
Key Benefits of TE Connectivity 1-2338495-3 OSFP Cage Assembly
- Ultra-High 1x4 Quad-Port Density (Up to 3.2 Tbps Aggregate Bandwidth): Consolidates four 800G OSFP ports into a single integrated 1x4 housing, maximizing front-panel I/O throughput in 1RU/2RU switch chassis.
- Integrated Optical Lightpipe Diagnostics: Pre-assembled lightpipe optics guide SMT LED light from the PCB cleanly to the front faceplate, providing clear visual link and activity status indication for each port.
- High-Speed Optical Interface Integration: Supports next-generation OSFP optical transceivers, Active Optical Cables (AOCs), and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) interconnects used in 400G and 800G networking platforms.
- Advanced EMI Containment for 112G PAM4: Heavy-duty metallic cage construction and perimeter EMI spring gasket contacts help minimize electromagnetic leakage around pluggable interfaces at high Nyquist frequencies (28 GHz).
- Solderless Press-Fit Manufacturing Flexibility: Precision compliant press-fit pins simplify board assembly, increase manufacturing yields, and avoid additional solder reflow thermal exposure on multi-layer PCB substrates.
- Multi-Source Availability: Industry-standard footprint allows deployment alongside compatible replacement alternatives from qualified suppliers like LINK-PP for BOM cost optimization.
