It accepts two QSFP28 or QSFP+ pluggable modules side-by-side, providing the mechanical alignment, EMI containment, and thermal management needed for 100 GbE and 25 GbE line card interfaces. Right-angle mounting orients the module insertion axis parallel to the board, a common layout for faceplate or mid-board I/O panels. ## Integrated Features That Save Board Space Two integrated features reduce external component count. The EMI shield is built into the cage body — no separate gasket or clip needed at the panel cutout. The light pipe guides the module's link-status LED to the faceplate, eliminating a separate light-pipe assembly. Together they simplify the bill of materials and cut the pick-and-place steps for the line card.","metaTitle":"TE 2-2170808-1 QSFP28 Cage, Press-Fit, Right Angle","metaDescription":"TE 2-2170808-1 QSFP28 cage assembly, ganged 1x2 with integrated heat sink.
