25GBE SFP28 2x12-A1 WITH OUTER AND INNER LIGHT PIPE
25GBE SFP28 2x12-A1 WITH OUTER AND INNER LIGHT PIPE Description
39015-00XXX1 is the most visibility-focused high-count option in this group, pairing a 2x12 stacked SFP28 connector layout with 48 light pipes in a Left Down arrangement. That combination makes the part distinctive for very large port arrays where status indication has to remain readable across many closely grouped interfaces instead of being treated as an afterthought.
Its 171.75 mm width shows that this is a wide, high-capacity cage rather than a compact connector-only part. With EMI finger support and press-fit mounting, the structure is aimed at organized integration of a very large stacked 28Gbps cage array while keeping extensive light-pipe coverage across the front-panel side.

Key Advantages of SFP28 Cage Connectivity
Built for 25G-class transmission, SFP28 cage delivers higher per-port bandwidth, better lane efficiency, and a compact interface format that fits modern data center and high-throughput equipment.
SFP28 Connector Applications in 25G Networks
SFP28 is commonly used where 25G single-lane performance is a better match than traditional 10G links, especially in platforms that need more bandwidth per port without sacrificing density.
25G server-to-switch interconnects
25gb SFP28 is widely used between servers and Top-of-Rack switches in data centers where 10G access links have become a limiting factor. It provides a more suitable bandwidth level for newer server NICs and higher east-west traffic loads.
100G breakout and leaf-spine switching architectures
In many switch designs, 100G uplinks are broken out into 4 x 25G lanes. SFP28 fits this architecture well by giving server-facing and edge-facing ports a lane speed that aligns more efficiently with 100G network fabrics.
High-performance storage and NVMe-based systems
SFP28 connector is also well suited for storage platforms and backend fabrics that move large data sets continuously. The higher single-port throughput helps support faster replication, lower congestion, and better performance in bandwidth-heavy storage environments.
AI, HPC, and cloud computing platforms
AI clusters, high-performance computing systems, and cloud infrastructure often generate heavier traffic patterns than traditional enterprise networks. 25gb SFP28 is a stronger fit for these environments because it supports denser 25G connectivity at the server and equipment edge.
