Small Form Factor Pluggable Solder-Down Cage
PL-KP1-00-000-02
Applications
• Switch and hub devices
• Mass storage systems interconnect
• Host adapter cards
• Enterprise switch interconnects
Key Features
The unique one-piece, solder-down cage represents one of JDSU’s complementary products to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Optimized for
use with all transceiver products complying with the (SFP) multisource agreement
(MSA), the solder-down cage features superior mechanical stability in standard
manufacturing processes. Its hardened spring-tempered material, plus excellent material memory characteristics, further provide for consistent transceiver mate/demate performance that provides for port fl exibility over the life of the system.
• Compatible with all MSA compliant SFP transceivers and
PWB layouts for single side applications
• Robust one piece design
• Press-fi t version also available
• RoHS compliant and lead-free
NORTH AMERICA: 800 498-JDSU (5378)
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 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
handling requirements
• Hardened spring tempered material along with excellent memory characteristics
provide consistent mate and demate performance over life of equipment
