Frequently Asked Questions
How does this part ensure accurate alignment of SFP optical subassemblies?
The precision die-cast internal geometry incorporates locating features and datum surfaces that constrain optical subassembly position within the module envelope, maintaining the fiber alignment tolerances required for low insertion loss and consistent optical performance.
What latch retention force does the housing geometry support?
The latch geometry is designed to meet SFP MSA retention force requirements, providing positive module retention in the host cage while allowing tool-free extraction. Specific retention force values are validated during first article testing against MSA mechanical test procedures.
Is this structural part compatible with SFP+ (enhanced SFP) module designs?
The base mechanical envelope is compatible with SFP+ form factor requirements. However, customers should confirm specific dimensional requirements with CZT's engineering team, as SFP+ modules may have additional thermal or electrical interface considerations.
