Quick Reference Guide
High Speed Input/Output Solutions
The pluggable I/O interface offers significant advantages as a high speed I/O interconnect.
With a standard equipment I/O interface and the flexibility of pluggable modules come the
options for fiber and copper links, and various data rates and protocols.
TE Connectivity (TE) has always been at the forefront of development of pluggable I/O
standards. TE continues to be engaged in new pluggable interface standards to support the
rapidly changing market needs for higher bandwidth, and remains at the forefront with the
technical expertise required to deliver superior designs for signal integrity and EMI at higher
data rates.

Lightpipe Application: TE provides surface mounted
LED bulbs on the PCB that carry light signal through
the lightpipe clipped onto the cage to the faceplate.
Lightpipes are available in standard, low profile,
reduced length or square.
Lightpipes
Heat Sinks
Heat Sink Technology for Thermal Management:
The riding heat sinks use direct contact to the pluggable
module to draw heat away from the source. TE heat
sinks are available in three standards networking, SAN,
PCI, or can be designed to customer specifications.
