Mouser supports data centres with TE Connectivity’s OSFP I/O connectors
Able to support 400GbE data centre applications, TE Connectivity’s octal small form-factor pluggable (OSFP) I/O connectors are now available from distributor, Mouser Electronics. TE’s next-generation OSFP connectors are designed for maximum thermal and electrical performance in data centre applications.
The connectors deliver 400GbE (400GbE) speeds over eight electrical lanes to support equipment that operates at up to 56Gbits per second PAM-4 and 28Gbits per second NRZ. The surface mount connectors offer a 60-position interface with a two-row design on a 0.6 mm contact pitch. They deliver low PCB cost and noise, says Mousers, making the connectors belly-to-belly capable with in-ground alignment.
OSFP cage assemblies feature a flat PCB assembly and support 1×1 and 1×4 single-port and multi-port applications. The stainless steel cage includes tuned airflow venting, ensuring system airflow and supporting module cooling. The cage assemblies also feature EMI containment at both the bezel and port opening, and both the cages and surface mount connectors feature copper alloy contacts.
TE’s OSFP connectors are suitable for a variety of data communications applications, including routers, servers, network switches, and interface cards.
