TE Connectivity 2198241-4 Compatible SFP+ 1x4 Cage Assembly Technical Overview

The TE Connectivity 2198241-4 is a 1x4 ganged SFP+ quad-port cage assembly combining an extra-high-profile 13.5mm pin heat sink, conductive elastomeric EMI gasket, and integrated lightpipes designed for TE Connectivity 2198241-4 compatible applications in ultra-high-power 10Gb/s Ethernet and 16Gb/s Fibre Channel platforms. Featuring solderless press-fit PCB mounting and a nickel silver housing, it provides maximum passive thermal dissipation, gapless panel grounding, visual LED link status diagnostics, and 4-port I/O consolidation for enterprise storage directors, core switches, and telecom infrastructure.

  • Mechanical Form Factor: 1x4 Ganged Single-Row 4-Port SFP+ Cage Assembly with pre-installed 13.5mm [.531 in] extra-high-profile pin heat sink and integrated lightpipe optics.
  • Signal Ecosystem Support: Engineered for high-power SFP+ Enhanced optical transceivers, 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 modules, and tunable DWDM ZR optics 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, 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.

Target Applications: Enterprise Storage Directors, High-Power 10G/16G Links, and Telecom

Combining SFP+ Enhanced MSA compliance, 1x4 quad-port density, elastomeric EMI shielding, a 13.5mm heat sink, and lightpipes, the TE Connectivity 2198241-4 supports demanding high-power networking deployments:

  • High-Power 10GBASE-T & DWDM Transport: Optimized for quad-port line cards deploying thermal-intensive 10G copper transceivers and long-haul tunable DWDM optics requiring status LEDs.
  • Enterprise Storage Area Networks (SAN): Ideal for 16G Fibre Channel core director switches, SAN expansion arrays, and storage controllers in 2RU/3RU chassis enclosures.
  • Data Center Switching & Edge Compute: Deployed in 10GbE aggregation switches, carrier Ethernet routers, and high-density compute nodes requiring real-time visual link diagnostics.
