GLGNET's QSFP cages & connectors, delivering up to 800 Gbps aggregate data rate per port. Our solutions ensure high performance signal integrity, density, and effective thermal
management. The product line includes various design options and port configurations, including single, ganged, and stacked setups. Customizable features such as EMI shielding, heat sinks,
and lightpipes are available to meet specific needs. Enhance your net's performance with GLGNET's advanced QSFP technology.
QSFP, QSFP28 and QSFP-DD Cages are used for different high-speed network designs. The right choice depends on data rate, module type, port density, thermal design, EMI control and the final equipment layout.
| Comparison Item | QSFP Cages | QSFP28 Cages | QSFP-DD Cages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Application | Used for 40G-class network equipment and compact pluggable module ports. | Used for 100G network equipment, data center switches and telecom hardware. | Used for higher-density 200G, 400G and 800G network designs. |
| Typical Data Rate | Commonly used in 40G applications. | Commonly used in 100G applications. | Commonly used in 200G, 400G and 800G applications, depending on module and system design. |
| Port Density | Suitable for compact front-panel layouts. | Higher speed within a similar compact form factor. | Higher-density design with more signal lanes for advanced network equipment. |
| Thermal Requirement | Usually lower thermal pressure than higher-speed QSFP families. | May require heat sink options for stable thermal control. | Often requires stronger heat sink and airflow design for high-speed modules. |
| EMI Control | EMI shielding helps reduce interference around the module port. | EMI spring fingers and cage shielding are important for 100G designs. | EMI shielding is critical for dense 400G and 800G network systems. |
