TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, today announced its Thermally Enhanced zSFP+ and zQSFP+ cages, which offer improved airflow through the cages, enabling better heat dissipation. These cages offer better thermal performance at a competitive price to most alternatives in the markets, and are ideal for any application that requires high-speed I/O transmission. The Thermally Enhanced zSFP+ and zQSFP+ cages offer:

• Better thermal performance – the best thermal performance of TE’s zSFP+ and zQSFP+ portfolio of products
• Better airflow – front-to-back and back-to-front airflow for cooler operation
• Lower costs – innovative and simple cooling enhancements can also lower operating costs

 

“As manufacturers move to higher internal speeds in their switches and other data communications equipment, they need I/O products that deliver 28Gbps performance without retaining too much heat,” said Melissa Knox, product manager of Data and Devices at TE Connectivity. “Our Thermally Enhanced zSFP+ and zQSFP+ cages improve thermal dissipation and are available at an attractive price point.”
