Connect
the EZ-Way
CHALLENGES
High-density environments face significant challenges, particularly with the new belly-to-belly transceivers requiring dual MPO and dual LC connectivity. Traditional connectors often exceed the transceiver footprint, causing interference and accessibility issues. SENKO’s EZ-Way connectors resolve this with an optimized footprint and enhanced push-pull boots, fitting within the QSFP-DD and OSFP transceiver footprint. This design ensures fast, easy access and maximizes space efficiency, making the EZ-Way range ideal for densely packed switches and high-density applications.
