Description of Pluggable Connector Assemblies

Pluggable Connector Assemblies encompass a wide range of connectors commonly utilized in internal computer and network infrastructure applications for cable-to-board connections. When choosing pluggable connectors, various factors should be taken into account, including connector style, connector type,number of positions, mounting type, termination method, features, contact finish, and the thickness of the contact finish.

Types of Pluggable Connector Assemblies

CFP: C-form factor pluggable interconnects are employed for rapid transmission of Ethernet and various other protocols in high-performance environments such as carrier networks, data centers, and wireless equipment.

QSFP: Quad small form-factor pluggable transceivers offer a diverse range of transmitter and receiver options, enabling users to choose the suitable transceiver for each link, thereby ensuring the necessary optical reach over either multi-mode or single-mode fiber.

SAS: SAS connectors are primarily used for linking peripheral devices to computers and larger storage servers. Amphenol provides an extensive selection of storage connectors that support diverse speed needs and offer versatility.

SATA: Serial advanced technology attachment is a computer bus interface that facilitates the connection of storage devices, including hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives, to a computer's motherboard.

SFP: Small form-factor pluggable is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module format used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. On networking hardware, an SFP interface serves as a modular slot for a media-specific transceiver.
