Farnell

Small Form Pluggable connectors/cages

Farnell has extended its range of Tyco Electronics products to include the Small Form Pluggable (SFP+) range of connectors and cages.

Targeted at higher-speed data applications of up to 10Gb/s, the SFP+ range is suitable for use in short-reach equipment such as data storage, servers, networking, routers and hubs.

Through initiatives such as Live Chat, website-accessible data sheets and the Element14 online engineering community, Farnell is able to support its electronics design-engineering customers with information, as well as ideas to help bring their designs to market.

Tyco Electronics' SFP+ product range meets the performance requirements of the small-form-factor (SFF) specification SFF-8431 and supports 8G fibre-channel and 10G Ethernet applications.

All products in the range also support copper cables to provide a cost-effective solution in short-reach equipment.

An EMI skirt is applied to the connector backshell to support compliance with the SFF-8432 specification.

Active and passive equalisation is offered with a pull-to-release mechanism.
