HIGH SPEED INPUT/OUTPUT SOLUTIONSQUICK REFERENCE GUIDEThe pluggable I/O interface offers significant advantages as a high speed I/O interconnect. With a standard equipment
I/O interface and the flexibility of pluggable modules come the options for fiber and copper links, and various data rates
and protocols. TE Connectivity (TE) has always been at the forefront of development of pluggable I/O standards.
TE continues to be engaged in new pluggable interface standards to support the rapidly changing market needs forhigher bandwidth, and remains at the forefront with the technical expertise required to deliver superior designs for
signal integrity and EMI at higher data rates.

FEATURES AND BENEFITSPRODUCT APPLICATIONS• High speed I/O solutions that support higher data rates• Cellular Infrastructure

than traditional copper interfaces (e.g. RJ45)• Access Routers/ Switches• High End Servers• Provides a standard interface at the equipment and allows

Accessories

Lightpipes

Lightpipe Application: TE provides surface mounted
LED bulbs on the PCB that carry light signal throughthe lightpipe clipped onto the cage to the faceplate.
Lightpipes are available in standard, low profile,
reduced length or square.
Heat Sinks

Heat Sink Technology for Thermal Management:
The riding heat sinks use direct contact to the pluggable
module to draw heat away from the source. TE heatsinks are available in three standards networking, SAN,
PCI, or can be designed to customer specifications.

8QUESTIONS TO ASK AT DESIGN IN:
What standard and data rate is required?
Please reference the standards for high speed I/O interface table on page 5.
Does the application have specific density requirements?
Assemblies can be configured by the number of ports and to meet height/width restrictions.
Does the application require light pipes?
Light pipes are available for SFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+ and CXP.
Does the application require thermal dissipation?
Heat sinks are available for SFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, XFP, CFP and CXP. There are also several thermal designs
available in the SFP+, zSFP+ and the zQSFP+ product set. Please see www.te.com/pluggableio for part numbers.
What are your cable requirements?
Depending on the pluggable I/O interface, copper cable assemblies are available in different cable lengths andoptions.
