TE Connectivity 2198224-3 SFP+ Cage Assembly Product Overview
TE Connectivity 2198224-3 is a 1x2 ganged SFP+ Enhanced cage assembly featuring an integrated 9.1mm [.358 in] pin heat sink, a conductive elastomeric EMI gasket, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for thermal-intensive I/O interfaces in enterprise storage, core switching, and telecom equipment, this 2-port assembly provides passive thermal cooling for high-wattage transceivers, gapless panel grounding, and mechanical module retention across extended operating temperatures (-55°C to +105°C).
Key Benefits of TE Connectivity 2198224-3 SFP+ Cage Assembly
- Enhanced Passive Thermal Dissipation: Pre-assembled 9.1mm [.358 in] pin heat sink increases surface cooling area, efficiently conducting heat away from power-intensive 10G/16G transceivers and DWDM optical modules.
- 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 containment and environmental dust protection.
- High-Density Dual-Port Integration: 1x2 ganged architecture consolidates two SFP+ Enhanced ports into a unified housing, optimizing front-panel port density.
- Standard 1.5mm PCB Substrate Matching: Tailored for standard 1.5mm [.059 in] motherboard thickness with 2.05mm press-fit compliant tails for optimal board retention and pin normal force.
- 16 Gb/s High-Speed Capability: Fully compatible with 10GbE, 8G/16G Fibre Channel (FC), and high-frequency CPRI wireless transport protocols.
- Multi-Source Availability: Industry-standard mechanical design enables secondary sourcing strategies to improve supply chain flexibility, lead-time management, and BOM optimization.
