Applications
The unique one-piece, pluggable, press-fit cage represents one of JDSU’s comple-
mentary products to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Optimized
for use with all transceiver products complying with the SFP multisource agreement
(MSA), the cage design allows for low-cost implementation using standard manu-
facturing processes. Its hardened spring-tempered material, plus excellent material
memory characteristics, further provide for consistent transceiver mate/de-mate
performance that provides for port flexibility over the life of the system.
• Switch and hub devices
• Mass storage systems interconnect
• Host adapter cards
• Enterprise switch interconnects
Highlights
• Industry’s most robust and sturdy cage design optimized for all SFP
applications, including Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and SONET
• Supports all industry SFP transceivers, using MSA-compliant board layouts and
hole sizes for single and double sided applications
• Extensive compatibility testing with industry-wide MSA-based modules for
interoperability in multiple vendor implementation
• One piece design offers superior mechanical stability, simplifying
implementation to customer PCBs
• Tested for common applications and standard industry processes to allow seamless
integration into manufacturing without additional equipment or requirements
• Excellent material memory characteristics provide for high cage retention to
PWB, reducing field failures due to cage pull up
• Shorter press fit pins enable .090” PCB thickness for belly-to-belly applications
