Tyco Electronics is the lead developer of the connectors and mechanical components for the CFP MSA (Multi Source Agreement), a new high speed pluggable I/O interface. This interconnect system supports 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s, as required by the IEEE 802.3ba specification as well as other developing telecom protocols. The CFP connector features multiple channels, each supporting 10Gb/s with electrical performance surpassing that of existing 10Gb/s interfaces.

The connector interface is a two piece solution consisting of a plug connector which is integrated by optical transceiver suppliers, and a host board receptacle connector. The additional host board components include the receptacle cover, guide rails, external bracket assembly, backer plate and riding heat sink to provide a complete solution. The integrated system provides the mechanical, EMI and thermal performance necessary to support the demanding requirements of the CFP MSA Optical Transceivers and OEM host line cards.
