Flyover® QSFP Cable Systems, Cages, and Heat Sinks

Flyover® QSFP Cable Systems, Cages, and Heat Sinks

Direct attach Flyover® QSFP cable assemblies route critical high-speed signals through ultra low skew twinax for improved and extended signal integrity.


Family Overview

fqsfp dd level2

Samtec’s Flyover® QSFP Systems provide improved signal integrity and architectural flexibility by routing critical high-speed signals through low-loss, ultra low skew twinax cable, instead of through expensive, lossy PCBs. The ultra-high-density design includes sideband signaling via press-fit contacts to help increase airflow, and a multitude of “End 2” options allow for maximum design flexibility.
