TE Connectivity QSFP-DD cages, connectors and cable assemblies

TE Connectivity’s QSFP-DD cages, connectors and cable assemblies address next-generation data center needs by increasing density in an existing QSFP form factor to reach speeds up to 400Gbps. These products are designed for both 28G NRZ and 56G PAM-4 protocols, with a roadmap to 112G PAM-4 for future system upgrades. TE’s QSFP-DD products work cost effectively in 15W to 18W applications by leveraging proprietary heat sink technology. QSFP-DD cable assemblies are customisable and fully backward-compatible, providing an easy upgrade path from existing QSFP solutions.
