The unique lead-free and RoHS-Compliant, 1x2 pluggable press-fit cage with enhanced-design 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 agreement (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.
The light pipes have been designed and improved so that their diameter will fit within host faceplate countersink features. The light pipes are more flexible and can more easily fit within openings on the faceplate. The back latch of the light pipe is designed for increased retention strength.
