The unique lead-free and RoHS-Compliant, pluggable, solder-down cage 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, further provide for consistent transceiver mate/de-mate performance that provides for port flexibility over the life of the system.
