zSFP+, Cage Assembly, Data Rate (Max) 28 Gb/s, Elastomeric Gasket, EMI Enhanced, 1 x 2, None, Through Hole - Press-Fit Mount, 2 Port
F-tone Networks provides a drop-in compatible replacement for the TE Connectivity 2198720-1 zSFP+ cage assembly. It is designed for high-speed 25G/28G SFP28 pluggable transceiver fronts and is mechanically backward compatible with SFP/SFP+ MSA footprints.
The cage features a ganged 1×2 port configuration with press-fit, through-hole, right-angle termination, enabling solder-free PCB mounting and efficient belly-to-belly stacking. The housing is constructed from nickel silver with optional EMI spring fingers; an elastomeric gasket version is available for sealed applications.
Key Specifications

2.Termination: Press-fit, through hole, right angle
3.Data rate: up to 28 Gb/s per lane (SFP28 ready, 56G capable by structure)
4.Operating temp: -55 °C to +105 °C (signal); -40 °C to +85 °C typical
5.Cage material: Nickel silver
6.Press-fit insertion force (ganged): max 54.3 N; extraction min 8.9 N; durability 100 cycles
7.Min PCB thickness: 1.50 mm single-sided; 2.25 mm (EMI spring) / 3.0 mm (gasket) belly-to-belly
8.Options: EMI shielded, light-pipe support, heat-sink ready
Applications
Data-center switches, 25G/100G Ethernet line cards, Fibre Channel HBAs, telecom access equipment, and cost-effective cross-reference replacement for TE 2198720-1 in service/spare parts BOMs.
