Description
Amphenol’s ExpressPort
TM
SFP+ 2xN Combos expand Amphenol’s SFP series product offering to
provide data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This is a high speed I/O interconnect system
providing a higher speed, inexpensive External I/O product, primarily for the networking, telecom
and storage systems markets.
ExpressPort
TM
SFP+ 2xN Combos consists of a special stacked connector system and a cage with
compliant press-fit pin tails.
Amphenol’s unique ExpressPort
TM
SFP+ cage constuction features EMI shielding either in the form
of metal spring fingers that interface with the panel cut-out, or an elastomeric gasket that is
compressed between the cage flange and the rear surface of the mounting panel.
The EMI spring finger tabs are spot-welded to the cage in a continuous strip to provide improved
EMI sealing, with “kinkless” tabs to reduce the potential for damage to the tabs during assembly to
a chassis panel.
The Elastomeric sealing gasket is captured by features on the flange, preventing gasket creep, and
maintaining alignment for reliable EMI sealing.
These cages also feature the removal of ventilation holes near the front of the cage to eliminate
potential catch points for the mating module EMI springs.
Additional features include integrated internal lightpipes (2 or 4 lightpipes per 2x1 stacked port
pair). Other custom features include an enhanced impedance performance design and additional
EMI sealing options.
This new design minimizes impedance discontinuities and reflections at high data rates, and
provides a 10 to 20 dB improvement in Near-End Crosstalk allowing the use of longer copper
cables, improved pcb routing, and resulting in an overall lower interconnect loss budget. Common
Mode and Differential Mode Return Loss also show superior performance incomparison to other
available products.
Applications
The demand for higher data rates, improved electrical performance and supression of EMI
generated by higher frequencies are driving the development and availability of SFP+ products with
more features and configurations for use in both Telecom and Datacom applications using 10 Gb
Ethernet and 8Gb Fibre Channel.
