Explore our precision-engineered, TE-compatible, and industry-standard press-fit 2xN stacked SFP modules designed for high signal integrity and thermal compliance.
As modern telecommunications and data processing centers scale up, space optimization on the host Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has become a primary bottleneck. The 2xN (Stacked Ports) architecture solves this density crisis by stacking two horizontal rows of cages in a single integrated component, effectively doubling port density within the same rack unit front-panel real estate.
Implementing stacked configurations requires sophisticated engineering to address complex mechanical and electrical challenges, including:
Available in 40-Pin (2x1), 80-Pin (2x2), 160-Pin (2x4), 240-Pin (2x6), and 320-Pin (2x8) variations aligning with SFF standards.
Press-Fit (solderless compliant pins) and Through-Hole configurations supporting reliable mechanical retention and seamless PCB integration.
Engineered to replace major OEM products (TE Connectivity, Molex, Pulse) while meeting IEEE 802.3 and INF-8074i specifications.
The telecommunication and cloud networking landscape is undergoing a structural paradigm shift. We track the key drivers determining the adoption of modern stacked SFP solutions.
With cloud service providers scaling backbones to 100G and 400G, the demand for 2xN SFP28 cages supporting data rates up to 28 Gbps per channel has accelerated. These ports demand much tighter manufacturing tolerances and optimized PCB footprints to minimize impedance mismatch and return loss.
Higher bandwidth transceivers draw more power, generating substantial heat. The integration of high-grade copper heat sinks directly into the 2xN cage assembly, coupled with dual or quad lightpipes, ensures both active thermal management and visible system status indication without sacrificing vital airflow paths.
As operating frequencies increase, preventing radiation and electromagnetic interference becomes critical to maintaining systemic reliability. Modern stacked designs incorporate continuous spring fingers and advanced ground-pin arrays to minimize the aperture slots where high-frequency noise could leak.

Enterprise and telecom operators globally require robust technical compliance. Our stacked SFP configurations are optimized for demanding industrial and commercial applications.
High-density computing arrays demand SFP+ and SFP28 2x6 or 2x8 configurations to cluster server chassis. Mechanical durability (up to 250 mating cycles) and low electrical impedance are critical path parameters for system integrators.
Outdoor cabinets and base stations demand rugged performance. Stacked cages featuring integrated elastomeric gaskets provide dust resistance and extreme temperature operational stability from -40°C up to +85°C.
Factory 4.0 automation systems utilize 2x1 and 2x2 stacked configurations on compact DIN-rail controllers. Stable press-fit technology replaces traditional wave-soldering, eliminating cold-solder joint failures under high vibrational stress.
