Modular Ethernet connector
Molex

SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) 10 Gbps Interconnect System from Molex supports next-generation speeds of standard SFP applications, with a greater range of options for increased port density

The SFP+ product line of connectors, cages and patch cables takes SFP to the next level. SFP+ interconnects are designed to support applications for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel and 10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet, as compared to SFP, which is designed to support 1.125 Gbps Fibre Channel and 2.5 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet applications. SFP+ interconnects use the same space-per-port as standard SFP interconnects, therefore providing 11.1 Gbps capability in a space that is 30% smaller than XFP.

The SFP+ interconnect system supports the SFP+ specifications covering 6 different standards, which define data rates ranging from 8.5 to11.1 Gbps. The SFP+ system is commonly referred to as 10 Gbps system although the specification is rated up to 11.1 Gpbs.
