RoHS-Compliant Small Form Factor Pluggable Press-Fit Cage,
2.19 mm Pin Length
PL-KP2-00-000-16
Key Features • Compatible with all MSA-compliant SFP transceivers and
PCB layouts for single and double sided applications
• Enhanced EMI performance at datarates above 4Gbps
• RoHS-compliant and lead-free
The unique lead-free and RoHS-Compliant, pluggable, press-fi t cage represents one
of JDSU’s complementary products to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) trans-
ceivers. Its patented design enables enhanced EMI performance using improved
shielding between the cage and bezel. Optimized for use with all transceiver prod-
ucts 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
fl exibility over the life of the system.
Highlights
• Industry’s most robust and sturdy cage design optimized for all SFP
applications, including Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and SONET
• Enhanced EMI performance due to improved mechanical shielding
• Supports all industry SFP transceivers, using MSA-compliant board layouts and
hole sizes for single and double sided applications
• Extensive compatibility testing with industry-wide MSA-based modules for
interoperability in multiple vendor implementation
• Backward compatible design offers superior mechanical stability, simplifying
implementation to customer PCBs
• Tested for common applications and standard industry processes to allow seamless
integration into manufacturing without additional equipment or requirements
• Excellent material memory characteristics provide for high cage retention to
PCB, reducing fi eld failures due to cage pull up
Applications
• Switch and hub devices
• Mass storage systems interconnect
• Host adapter cards
• Enterprise switch interconnects

Section 1 Functional Description
The press Fit Cage is designed in compliance with the Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) Transceiver Multisource Agreement (MSA). See Figure 1. PL-KP2-00-000-
16 may be used with both the single-sided PCB layout and the double-sided PCB
layout and double-sided offset PCB layout.

The double-sided PCB layout allows for one cage on the topside of the card and
one on the bottom side that is directly under the topside cage (called belly-to-
belly) (See Figure 2 and Figure 3). The pins are staggered to avoid interference
upon installation. The PCB must be a minimum of 0.089” thick for Belly-to-Belly
Applications.
The double-sided offset PCB layout allows for cages on both sides of the PCB, but
staggered to allow more room for fi nger access between the units (offset belly-to-
belly) (See Figure 4 and Figure 5). The pins are staggered to avoid intereference
upon installation. The PCB must be a minimum of 0.089” thick for Offset Belly to
Belly applications.

For best installation, a solid piece of stainless steel or similar metal should be
placed fl at across the top surface of the cage. The fi xture should not fl atten the
EMI springs at the front of the cage.
Care should be taken not to twist or tilt the cage during the installation process.
Excessive force will result in damage to the unit. A press machine similar to the
MEP-6T/12T manufactured by Automated Services Group, West Palm Beach, FL
would be fi ne for cage installation.
Cage removal is very easy. Simply insert a fl at metal bar or similar object into the
cage assembly and lift it up off the PCB. Actual insertion and removal force may
vary depending on plating material and fi nished hole size. Cages should not be
re-installed once they are removed from a board.
