CS Patchcord

PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
The CS^® connector was introduced as a replacement to current duplex LC connectors which are too big for newer generation transceiver interfaces and to increase the connector density in patch panels. The CS^® connector is operated with a push-pull mechanism having two cylindrical, spring-loaded 1.25 mm ferrules, within a single housing. The CS^® connector’s two ferrules are pitched at 3.8 mm apart, which is the minimum possible spacing to meet today’s TOSA and ROSA optics requirement. The CS^® connector can be used with 2 mm jacketed cable.
CS^® Connector Designed for next generation 200/400G transceiver QSFP-DD and OSFP

40% size reduction compared to LC Duplex
Connector adopted by QSFP-DD, OSFP and COBO
Performance exceeds LC
Push/Pull tab for a better usability in high density applications
