- Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for high-power 10GbE optical transceivers, 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 modules, and 16G Fibre Channel optics operating up to 16 Gb/s (SFF-8431).
- Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit termination with 3.0mm [.118 in] tail length, optimized for standard 1.5mm [.059 in] PCB substrates.
- Alternative Sourcing Option: Multi-source engineering options are available to support secondary sourcing strategies, BOM cost optimization, and supply chain flexibility.
TE Connectivity 2180640-1 SFP+ Cage Assembly Product Overview
TE Connectivity 2180640-1 is an integrated 2x6 stacked SFP+ receptacle and cage assembly featuring a thermally enhanced enclosure design, integrated lightpipe optics, a conductive elastomeric EMI gasket, nickel silver alloy construction, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for thermal-intensive 12-port line cards in enterprise core switches, SAN storage arrays, and telecom routing enclosures, this 12-port stacked assembly integrates the 240-position electrical card-edge connector inside the cage body, eliminating secondary SMT host connector reflow while providing passive module cooling and seamless panel dust protection (-55°C to +105°C).
Key Benefits of TE Connectivity 2180640-1 SFP+ Cage Assembly
- Thermally Enhanced Enclosure Architecture: Engineered with optimized airflow venting and thermal conduction channels to efficiently dissipate operational heat from high-wattage optics, DWDM modules, and 10GBASE-T copper transceivers across all twelve ports.
- Integrated 240-Position Receptacle, Cage & Lightpipe Assembly: Houses the 12-port 240-position electrical connector, metallic 2x6 cage shell, conductive elastomeric EMI gasket, and optical lightpipes into a single press-fit unit, eliminating separate SMT connector reflow and lightpipe mounting steps.
- Conductive Elastomeric EMI Gasket Shielding: Continuous elastomeric gasket provides a seamless, gap-free perimeter ground seal against chassis bezel cutouts, offering superior high-frequency EMI suppression and environmental dust protection.
- Integrated Optical Status Diagnostics: Pre-assembled lightpipe channels guide light from surface-mount LEDs on the PCB cleanly to the front bezel, providing clear visual link and activity status indication for all twelve stacked ports.
- Maximum 2x6 12-Port Density Consolidation: Arranges twelve SFP+ ports in a 2-row by 6-column matrix, dramatically increasing front-panel I/O capacity per linear inch of faceplate width on 1RU/2RU switch line cards.
- Multi-Source Availability: Industry-standard mechanical footprint enables secondary sourcing strategies to improve supply chain flexibility, lead-time management, and BOM optimization.
