Samtec Pluggable I/O Connectors

Samtec Pluggable I/O connectors that form part of a high-speed modular interconnection system. These pluggable connectors feature high-speed I/O interfaces that support higher data rates than those of traditional copper interfaces such as RJ45. This high data rate makes these pluggable I/O connectors suitable for use in the increasing number of applications that demand a high bandwidth.

These pluggable connectors provide a standard I/O interface in the equipment they are used in. This feature enables design flexibility by allowing the user to choose between transceiver modules and direct attach cable assemblies depending on the application.

Types Of I/O Interface are:

• SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus): Supports data rates of up to 16 Gbit/s.
• QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable): Supports data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s with 10 Gbit/s per channel.

Applications

These pluggable I/O connectors are suitable for use in applications that require a high-speed data transmissions rate.

• Access routers and switches
• High-end servers
• Network hubs
• Medical diagnostic equipment
• cellular infrastructure

What are pluggable IO connectors used for?

Pluggable I/O (Input/Output) connectors are used in various electronic devices and systems to provide a means of connecting external devices or components. These Samtec connectors are designed to be easily plugged and unplugged, allowing for convenient installation, maintenance, and replacement of components.
