TE Connectivity (TE) stacked quad small form factor pluggable double density (QSFP-DD) 112G connectors and cages are the next generation of data infrastructure interconnect solutions to support high density data centers, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence operations. Stacked QSFP-DD 112G solutions enable operations at 112G PAM4 speeds and are built to mechanical and performance standards developed by companies under a QSFP-DD multi-source agreement (MSA). TE offers a complete vertically integrated manufacturing solution, with expertise in both connector and thermal development.
TE’s next generation QSFP-DD products are aligned with the industry’s 112G channel performance needs on signal integrity performance.
• Compliant to QSFP-DD MSA specification and IEEE 802.3ck specification signal integrity performance.
• Increased data rates – supporting aggregate data rates of 800 Gbps per port.
• Cages support customized and integrated heat sink designs for increased thermal performance.
QSFP-DD cages are fully backwards compatible, providing an upgrade path from existing QSFP solutions - allowing an economical path to upgrade to 112G operations.
• Backwards compatible from existing QSFP solutions – allowing for a seamless upgrade to 112G operations.
Due to demands on next generation designs to support hyperscale data centers and machine learning infrastructures, TE has developed one of the most comprehensive and flexible 112G portfolios on the market.
• Both design customization and manufacturer supported, allowing for vertical supply chain integration which helps to reduce risk through single source procurement.
