Pulse Electronics High-Speed Pluggable I/O Interconnect Solutions
Pulse Electronics High-Speed Pluggable I/O Interconnect Solutions provide a scalable interconnect path from 1Gbps through 800Gbps. These solutions include SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, QSFP112, and OSFP8 connectors, cages, and integrated assemblies for optical Ethernet and other high-speed links. The interconnect solutions offer single, ganged, and stacked configurations, including 1x1, 1xN, and 2xN options. These solutions support compact equipment architectures while simplifying platform scaling across industrial, enterprise, telecom, high-performance computing, and hyperscale systems.
The interconnect solutions incorporate press-fit cage and module technology for efficient PCB assembly. These solutions feature SMD connector options with 15 microinch or 30 microinch gold finishes on selected families. Typical applications include data center and computing, networking and telecommunications, and industrial and edge systems.
