Engineered for applications in high-speed data environments, the CXP assembly mitigates EMI leakage
at the bezel opening and at the cage-to-plug interface. With an enhanced, dual-sourced footprint that
increases space between the vias, the product reduces cross-talk and improves electrical performance.
The assembly’s one-piece, press-fit design allows for quick and easy placement onto a PCB board –
eliminating the extra steps of assembling the connector and cage, thereby saving manufacturing time and cost. Threaded screw holes are also available as an optional enhancement to secure the CXP assembly onto a board.
Product offerings include lightpipe and EMI/dust plug options as well as three different heat-sink heights to suit various thermal applications. Belly-to-belly mounting options for use on both sides of a PCB board are also offered for high port density applications that require space savings.
Target applications include network switches, routers, storage devices, direct attached storage (DAS),
storage attached networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), controller cards and servers.
