SFP+ Copper Cable Assemblies
SFP+ copper cable assemblies from Siemon Interconnect Solutions (SIS) were developed specifically as a cost-effective and lower-power alternative to optical modules for short reach links in high-speed interconnect applications such as highperformance computing (HPC), enterprise networking including top-of-rack switching and network storage markets. The assemblies support data transfer rates up to 10+ Gb/s per lane, meeting or exceeding current standards specifications.
These SFP+ fully-shielded assemblies combine twin-axial shielded cable configuration with robust die cast housings for enhanced support of high frequency data rates. These SFP+ assemblies are impedance matched to ensure interoperability and minimize EMI leakage through their fully-shielded design.
