The TE Connectivity 2227838-8 is a zSFP+ receptacle with an integrated cage, configured as a ganged 2x12 array. It carries 912 positions arranged as 38 per port across 24 ports. This is the high-density I/O interconnect for a switch or line card faceplate — each port mates with a zSFP+ plug, and the cage provides the EMI containment and thermal management path.
Key Features That Drive the Board Layout
The press-fit termination means the connector is pressed into plated through-holes — no wave solder, no reflow profile to manage.
