UltraPort™ SFP+ Connectors

Amphenol Communications Solutions' UltraPort SFP+ interconnect system comprises of a 20-position, hot-swappable I/O connector enclosed in a metal cage mounted to a host PCB. It supports 28 Gb/s applications with backward compatibility for next-generation Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications. UltraPort SFP+ connector shares the same unique mating interface and EMI cage dimensions as the SFP+ form factor. The cages are built to use with several board thicknesses and assembly processes to accommodate server and switch applications for cost-optimized solutions. The connector accepts multiple transceivers per INF-8081 to combine, transmit, and receive functions in a low-cost, compact, and flexible format. Stacked versions (2XN) consist of a two-row cage with integrated connectors. A wide variety of cage configurations, with a two-piece construction and enhanced transceiver mating tabs, are offered in press-fit or solder tail versions.
