The zSFP+ interconnect is currently one of the fastest single-channel I/O connectors on the market today, transferring data at 28 Gbps with possible expansion to 40 Gbps. Through a design that is backward-compatible to SFP/SFP+ products, the interconnect is hot-swappable with existing SFP+ connectors for fast system upgrades of 28-40 Gbps. Alternatively, users can design-in the zSFP+ connector for 10-16 Gbps data rates, establishing a progressive path to higher speeds-an upgradeability that can result in long-term cost savings as this would eliminate the need to fully redesign for higher performance.

The zSFP+ interconnect is compliant to SFF-8402 and has been adopted for Fiber Channel 32G (28.05 Gbps line rate).

• 2x1 Port Configuration
• Data Rates: 28 Gbps (with possible expansion to 40 Gbps), 10 Gbps Ethernet and 16 Gbps Fiber Channel
• Surface-mount connector design for single high 1xN cages
• Press-fit 1xN cages and stacked assemblies (connector and cage) for one-step, easy PCB placement
• Coupled, narrow-edged, blanked- and formed-contact beam geometry and insert molding for superior signal integrity, mechanical and electrical performance
• Backwards-compatibility: Shares same mating interface and cage dimensions with the SFP+ connector (connector/single high cages are also PCB footprint-compatible)
• Elastomeric gasket or spring finger options for EMI containment
• Single high cages (1xN) for design flexibility; accommodates belly-to-belly applications for increased density and PCB space savings
