microQSFP INTERCONNECT SOLUTIONS 28 and 56 Gbps Pluggable I/O & Cable Assemblies TE Connectivity (TE) is leading the industry in the design of micro Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (microQSFP) Connectors, providing a higher density solution for next generation pluggable connectivity. With increasing bandwidth requirements, demand is increasing for smaller form factors that will offer increased faceplate density and higher port count. These products need to maintain superior thermal performance to keep energy costs low and maximize reliability. The technological innovations of the microQSFP form factor have the potential to revolutionize the development of pluggable interconnect for next generation designs.
