We understand that each network setup is unique. That’s why we offer extensive customization options for our SFP+ cages. Whether you need specific heat sink designs, light pipe integrations, or unique mounting configurations, GLGNET can provide tailored solutions to meet your needs.
SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) is an enhanced version of the SFP transceiver module used in networking equipment, supporting higher data rate and commonly used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. SFP+ modules have a smaller form factor compared to older XFP modules, allowing for higher port density on networking devices.
SFP+ cages refer to the physical connectors on networking devices that hold the SFP+ modules. These cages provide the electrical and mechanical interface for connecting the modules to the devices, enabling hot-swappable capabilities.
Understanding the differences between SFP, SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP is essential for choosing the right networking equipment. Each module type, along with its corresponding cage, offers unique features tailored to specific applications and performance requirements.
