The ExpressPort QSFP+ interconnect system is a high-density solution designed for high-speed data transfer. It features a 38-position, 0.8mm pitch SMT connector and a press-fit cage, enabling data transfer up to 28 Gbps per channel. This system replaces up to four standard SFP+ receptacles, offering increased port density and cost savings. It supports various standards including Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, and SONET/SDH with different data rate options. The ExpressPort QSFP+ is available in single, ganged, and stacked configurations with multiple heat sink and light pipe options to accommodate diverse thermal requirements and port status indications.
