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
