RoHS-Compliant Small Form Factor 1x2 Press-Fit SFP Cage
with Light pipes
PL-KP2-21-000-11
Key Features
• Compatible with all MSA-compliant SFP transceivers
• Staggered pins allow for PCB layouts in single and double-
sided applications
• Enhanced EMI performance at datarates above 4Gbps
• RoHS-compliant and lead-free
Applications
The unique lead-free and RoHS-Compliant, 1x2 pluggable press-fit cage with
light pipes represents one of JDSU’s complementary products to the Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Its patented design enables enhanced EMI
performance using improved shielding between the cage and bezel. Optimized
for use with all transceiver products complying with the SFP multisource agree-
ment (MSA), the cage design allows for low-cost implementation using standard
manufacturing processes. Its hardened spring-tempered material, plus excellent
material memory characteristics, provides for consistent transceiver mate/de-
mate performance and enables 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
• Enhanced EMI performance for 4G applications due to improved
mechanical shielding
• Supports all industry SFP transceivers, allows for 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 implementations
• Backward compatible 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
