Zyqora
Explore our top-tier selection of high-performance SFP and SFP+ ganged port cages engineered for exceptional mechanical stability, robust EMI mitigation, and optimized thermal management.
In high-speed communication systems, the 1xN ganged SFP cage acts as a vital mechanical and electromagnetic interface. Unlike individual, standalone SFP ports, a ganged port system groups multiple SFP/SFP+ slots horizontally into a single, cohesive metal housing. This design maximizes PCB space efficiency and strengthens the physical structure of the system.
At Zyqora, we manufacture ganged cages (ranging from 1x2, 1x4, and 1x6 to 1x8 layouts) to support data transfer rates from 10 Gbps (SFP+) up to 28 Gbps (SFP28) per port. Using advanced copper alloys, integrated EMI spring fingers, and precision press-fit (compliant pin) technologies, our cages provide structural integrity and shield high-frequency signals from electromagnetic interference.
Choosing the right 1xN configuration requires balancing mechanical stability, airflow pathing, and pin geometry. Below is our baseline standard:
| Parameter | Specification Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Compliance | SFF-8432, SFF-8071, SFP+ MSA |
| Port Matrix | 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 1x6, 1x8 Ganged |
| Housing Material | Copper Alloy (Nickel plated) |
| PCB Tail Type | Press-Fit (Compliant) / Through-Hole |
| Thermal Options | Custom Heatsinks (PCI, SAN, Tall) |
As data demands grow, 1xN ganged SFP cages are essential for high-density networking, telecom infrastructure, and cloud environments worldwide.
Modern AI workloads require high bandwidth and low latency. Using 1x6 and 1x8 ganged SFP cages helps system designers maximize port density on switch line cards, facilitating fast east-west traffic flow across server racks.
Outdoor base stations and edge nodes operate in harsh conditions. Zyqora's SFP cages are built with corrosion-resistant nickel-plated copper alloys and designed to withstand wide temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring reliable outdoor performance.
Enterprise core switches demand high throughput without packet loss. Our ganged cages feature continuous ground connections to minimize signal attenuation and prevent crosstalk, ensuring clean transmissions for financial and enterprise networks.
Operating optical transceivers at 10G SFP+ or 25G SFP28 speeds generates heat and high-frequency noise. Managing these factors is critical for system reliability.
High-speed transceivers can leak electromagnetic radiation at port openings and PCB connection points. Zyqora designs cages with 360-degree EMI spring fingers and ground pins, creating a low-impedance path to the system ground. This design keeps radiation levels compliant with FCC Part 15 and EN 55022 limits.
Modern transceivers can consume up to 1.5W to 2.5W per port. Without proper heat dissipation, high temperatures can degrade optical lasers. We offer integrated heatsinks in various fin heights (PCI, SAN, or custom profiles) that mount directly to the cage top, transferring heat away via system airflow.
Every ganged cage design undergoes rigorous mechanical and electrical testing before volume production:

We work closely with customers to support customized layouts and board requirements:
As data rates transition from 10G/25G to 56G and 112G PAM4 speeds, ganged cage design must evolve to meet new electrical and thermal demands.
Future data centers will rely on 112 Gbps per channel lanes to support 400G and 800G switches. This shift presents challenges for standard SFP cages, particularly regarding electrical crosstalk and thermal dissipation. Zyqora's R&D team is developing advanced solutions to address these needs:
Through research into advanced copper alloys and stamping technologies, Zyqora aims to provide reliable, high-performance interconnect solutions that support next-generation network architectures.
