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.
