2326827-2

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2326827-2 is a receptacle cage assembly designed for high-speed data transmission applications. It is specifically configured to support the QSFP-DD form factor, providing a 1x4 port arrangement for dense interconnect solutions. The component serves as the mechanical housing and retention structure for pluggable optical or copper transceivers, ensuring secure mating with corresponding header assemblies in server and switch environments.

Feature Summary

• Engineered as a receptacle cage assembly compatible with QSFP-DD modules
• Provides a 1x4 port configuration for high-density signal routing
• Designed for use within pluggable connector systems requiring robust mechanical retention

Applications

• High-performance computing server backplanes
• Data center network switches and routers
• Storage area network (SAN) infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the complete cage assembly rather than individual contacts or housings. Confirm compatibility with the intended QSFP-DD transceiver brand and model, as mechanical tolerances can vary between manufacturers. Ensure the procurement specification matches the required pin count and orientation for the target PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated cage assembly is required for QSFP-DD implementations rather than integrated connector solutions. Evaluate the mechanical fit within the chassis enclosure to ensure adequate clearance for module insertion and removal. Consider thermal management requirements of the host system, as the cage design influences airflow around the connected transceivers.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader category of pluggable connector assemblies manufactured by TE Connectivity. It functions as a critical interface element in modern high-bandwidth networking hardware, bridging the gap between the printed circuit board and external fiber optic or copper cables via the QSFP-DD form factor standard.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify mechanical dimensions and mating interface specifications against alternative suppliers if sourcing this specific TE Connectivity part is not feasible.
