SFP Cage
The SFP cage is a one-piece solution that is stamped and formed in compliance with the current MSA. The SFP cage is a metal frame design to be bezel-mounted to an I/O panel with compliant pins for pressing onto the host printed circuit board.

The SFP cages are constructed from a single piece of material. Fourté offers different configurations on material (stainless steel, tin-coated, nickel silver) along with different configurations for the feet. We entertain special requests for modifications on our tooling. The SFP cage conforms to SFP MSA and is RoHS compliant.
