micro SFP+ Connector and Cable Assembly
TE Connectivitys (TE) micro SFP+ connector and cable assembly empower you to dream big when
designing your communication system. Through a footprint thats up to 50% smaller than current SFP+
interconnects, the micro SFP+ interconnects allow you to increase faceplate density while freeing up ad-
ditional PCB space due to the board connectors shortened length. The products designs have also been
enhanced to improve signal routing, minimize EMI and optimize automated manufacturing processes.
Increases Faceplate Density / Saves PCB Space: micro SFP+ is up to 50% smaller than current SFP+
connectors, in width and length, taking up as little as 15mm board space. One micro SFP+ frees up
19% more faceplate space than 1 SFP+ connector.
Improves Signal Integrity: The cable assembly and connector were designed with a staggered
contact configuration that improves signal routing. Additionally, the bottom and top contacts have
been further optimized for speed.
Reduces EMI: EMI is minimized through a die cast housing, cable shield crimped at 360 degrees, and
an extended EMI shield over the cables plug.
Optimizes Manufacturing Processes: For manufacturing automation, the board interconnect
combines the connector & cage into one finished product for automated of board placement. High
temperature pin in paste soldering can be achieved as the product withstands up to 265 degrees
Celsius.
