Small form factor pluggable
(SFP/SFP+) connectors and cages
from PalCONN are designed for
use in Ethernet networking
applications. They interface a
network device motherboard to a
fiber optic or copper networking
cable.
SFP supports transceivers
designed to 4.25Gbps. The
standard is expanding to SFP+
which supports data rates up to
10.0Gbps.
SFP+ is targeted towards higher
speed applications. SFP+ Cages
have enhanced

EMI containment features,
enhanced SMT connector for
higher signal speed, and
requires external EMI springs on
transceiver modules.
Press-Fit cages have a robust
infrastructure using crocodile
snap-style clips, and rib eye
needle pins. A conductive
gasket for EMI containment
between cage and bezel is
standard.
For standard product details,
please refer to online data
sheets, or contact PalCONN.
