1761014-3 SFP 1x2 Ganged Cage Assembly | 4 Gb/s Press-Fit EMI Receptacle

The 1761014-3 is a highly reliable 1x2 (Dual-Port) Ganged SFP Cage Assembly engineered for Gigabit Ethernet and 4G Fibre Channel applications. Designed to house standard Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, this shielded receptacle supports stable data rates up to 4 Gb/s per port. Featuring robust EMI spring fingers and a solderless press-fit termination, it provides critical mechanical stability and electromagnetic containment for high-density networking and telecom infrastructure.

Manufactured under stringent quality control protocols, the 1761014-3 assembly ensures perfect mechanical mating, extraction force compliance, and superior grounding. The component is subjected to rigorous dimensional and EMI shielding effectiveness tests. It maintains full compliance with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and global environmental certifications, including RoHS and REACH, guaranteeing long-term durability in both enterprise data centers and extreme edge computing environments.

Expert Architecture Insight: SFP Form Factor vs. Data Rate

Engineering Notice: While this component shares the exact physical envelope of the broader SFP/SFP+/zSFP+ product family, this specific cage is optimized and rated for a maximum throughput of 4 Gb/s. It is the ideal hardware housing for standard 1.25G Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-X), SONET/SDH, and 4G Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SAN). Using this cage for legacy or sub-5G architectures offers a highly cost-effective, perfectly shielded solution without over-specifying to more expensive 28G zSFP+ hardware.

High-Density 1x2 Integration & Press-Fit Assembly

Operating flawlessly across an extreme temperature range of -55°C to +85°C, this dual-port SFP cage is built to streamline PCB manufacturing and maximize faceplate density:

  • Solderless Press-Fit Termination: Features resilient "Eye-of-the-Needle" compliant pins designed for Through-Hole Press-Fit mounting. This eliminates the need for wave soldering, mitigating thermal stress on complex, multi-layer motherboards and speeding up automated assembly lines.
  • 1x2 Ganged Configuration: Integrates two SFP ports into a single continuous metal housing. This "ganged" design reduces component placement time, ensures perfect port-to-port coplanarity, and saves critical horizontal PCB real estate compared to utilizing two separate 1x1 cages.
  • Exceptional EMI Shielding: Equipped with robust external EMI springs that create a continuous 360-degree conductive ground path to the equipment bezel. This effectively contains high-frequency RF noise and prevents electromagnetic interference in densely packed racks.
  • Unibody Metal Construction: Fabricated to withstand high insertion/extraction cycles, ensuring mechanical rigidity during the repeated hot-swapping of optical transceivers.

Typical Applications & Industry Use Cases

Due to its rugged press-fit design, dual-port density, and 4 Gb/s capability, the 1761014-3 is the preferred housing for:

  • Storage Area Networks (SAN): 4G Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBA) and clustered storage arrays.
  • Telecom Infrastructure: Baseband units, optical transport networks (OTN), and outdoor edge routers exposed to extreme temperatures (-55°C to +85°C).
  • Enterprise Networking: 1x2 SFP uplink ports on Gigabit Ethernet switches and hardware firewalls.
  • Industrial Communication: Ruggedized industrial PCs (IPC) and media converters requiring highly reliable, pluggable optical I/O.
