SFP Release Mechanism
The SFP release mechanism is a metal stamped product with a molded top that is color-coated for different wavelengths. The three piece solution that attaches to the metal enclosure includes a bail, a slide, and two pins.

Unlike other release mechanism that disengage the module from the cage by applying pressure to the tip of the tongue, Fourté’s SFP release mechanism disengages the module from the cage by applying pressure to the rear of the tongue.
