ZQSFP+ Cage with Integrated Heat Sink and Light Pipe
It is designed for high-speed I/O applications where a pluggable module — QSFP+, QSFP28, or similar ZQSFP+ form factor — needs a shielded, thermally managed port on the PCB edge.
The board footprint must match the press-fit hole pattern and the keep-out zone for the cage and light pipe. The EMI shield is integral to the cage, so the panel cutout and gasket interface are part of the mechanical fit check.
Integrated Heat Sink and Light Pipe
The cage includes a heat sink for thermal management of the pluggable module. The light pipe provides a visual status indicator from the module's LED to the faceplate.
