Applications
The unique RoHS-Compliant, one-piece, pluggable, press-fit cage represents one of
JDSU’s complementary products to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) trans-
ceivers. Optimized for use with all transceiver products complying with the SFP
multisource agreement (MSA), the cage design allows for low-cost implementation
using standard manufacturing processes. Its hardened spring-tempered material,
plus excellent material memory characteristics, further provide for consistent trans-
ceiver 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
PCB, reducing field failures due to cage pull up
