Harrisburg, Pa. – July 27, 2016 – TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, today announced the launch of its micro Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (microQSFP) product line, the next generation of pluggable input/output (I/O) interconnects. The microQSFP connectors help solve key challenges relating to bandwith, thermal performance and energy costs in data storage centers. TE is the first company to bring microQSFP products to market from the microQSFP Multi Source Agreement (MSA) group that is creating an industry-wide ecosystem for microQSFP, and ensuring that products can be easily adopted and integrated into existing data center designs.The increase in consumer demand for video content and streaming internet services requires significant increases in bandwidth, but standard I/O connectors are limited in their ability to deliver greater throughput in existing infrastructures because of their size and external heatsink.
