- Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for SFP+ Enhanced optical transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables operating up to 16 Gb/s (SFF-8431, 10GbE, and 16G Fibre Channel).
- Board Mount Technology: Solderless Through-Hole Press-Fit termination with 2.05mm tail length, specifically tailored for thicker 2.25mm [.089 in] enterprise 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 2198230-1 SFP+ Cage Assembly Product Overview
TE Connectivity 2198230-1 is a 1x2 ganged SFP+ Enhanced cage assembly featuring an integrated 4.2mm pin heat sink, nickel silver alloy construction, and press-fit PCB mounting. Designed for high-power pluggable modules in enterprise storage arrays, core routers, and cloud switching fabrics, this 2-port assembly provides passive thermal cooling, mechanical retention, and perimeter EMI shielding across extended operating temperatures.
Key Benefits of TE Connectivity 2198230-1 SFP+ Cage Assembly
- Integrated Thermal Dissipation: Pre-assembled 4.2mm pin heat sink improves thermal airflow contact, efficiently conducting heat away from high-power 10G/16G transceivers without requiring custom chassis cooling attachments.
- High-Density Dual-Port Integration: 1x2 ganged architecture consolidates two SFP+ Enhanced ports into a single housing, optimizing front-panel slot space on high-density line cards.
- 16 Gb/s High-Speed Performance: Fully compatible with 10GbE, 8G/16G Fibre Channel (FC), and high-frequency CPRI wireless transport protocols.
- Robust EMI Shielding: External perimeter spring gaskets establish continuous electrical contact against chassis bezel cutouts to control high-frequency radiated emissions.
- Heavy-Duty PCB Substrate Mounting: 2.05mm press-fit tails provide reliable mechanical insertion and normal contact force in thick 2.25mm multi-layer circuit boards.
- Multi-Source Availability: Industry-standard mechanical footprint enables secondary sourcing strategies to improve supply chain resilience, lead-time management, and BOM optimization.
