microQSFP Pluggable I/O Connectors

TE Connectivity is the first company to bring micro quad small form-factor pluggable (microQSFP) interconnects to market from the microQSFP multi-source agreement (MSA), providing a higher density solution for next generation pluggable connectivity. microQSFP provides QSFP28 functionality in a smaller, generally SFP-sized form-factor while providing significantly better thermal performance to help save energy costs, improved electrical performance at 25 Gbps NRZ / 56 Gbps PAM-4 and 33% higher density than QSFP to fit more ports on a standard line card.

Key Benefits 

  • Save space on the PC board with a 33% higher density design than existing QSFP form-factors 
  • Improve thermal performance with built-in fins on the connector that allow faceplate airflow to the interior of the equipment
  • Double the thermal capability of today’s QSFP products 
  • Support next generation designs with standardized form-factor and 25 Gbps NRZ / 56 Gbps PAM-4 performance and backwards compatibility to 28 Gbps
  • Enable up to 7.2 Tbps in a standard 1RU line card with 72 ports (when operating at 25 Gbps per channel
Applications Target Market
  • Networking switches
  • Routers
  • Servers (blade, rack mountable, and multi-node)
  • Networking interface cards 
  • Optical transport equipment
  • Data communications
