Tyco Electronics SFP+ (Small Form Pluggable) / QSFP connector systems

SFP+ Connectors & Cages

Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable

The SFP+ product family extends the use of the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) interconnect up to 10 Gb/s. This system meets the performance requirements of SFF (Small Form-Factor) specification SFF-8431 and supports 8G Fiber Channel and 10G Ethernet applications. The SFP+ product family includes cages, connectors, and copper cable assemblies.

As with Tyco Electronics' SFP product family, copper cables are supported for SFP+ to provide a cost-effective solution for short reach applications. An EMI "skirt" is applied to the backshells, in compliance with SFF specification SFF-8432. Active and passive equalization are offered, with a simple pull-to-release latch mechanism.
