DESCRIPTION

2297550-2 is a 1x4 microQSFP cage with EMI gasket designed for high-speed 28 Gbps pluggable interconnect solutions. This cage features integrated EMI gasket technology for electromagnetic interference suppression and supports optimized airflow configurations in both side-to-side and front-to-back orientations. The product enables up to 72 ports in a standard 1RU linecard with a 14.25 mm port width, providing 33% higher density than QSFP28 solutions. It is compatible with direct attach copper cables, optical transceivers with MPO or LC functionality, and active optical cables (AOCs), and supports standards including 25G/100G Ethernet, 100G InfiniBand EDR, 32G/128G Fibre Channel, and 25G/50G Ethernet Consortium. The cage is designed for belly-to-belly compatibility in both 1xN/1xN and 2xN/1xN configurations on 4-6 layer PCBs, making it ideal for high-density networking systems requiring superior thermal performance and EMI control.
