1761014-3 – TE CONNECTIVITY

The 1761014-3, manufactured by TE Connectivity, is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cage assembly designed for I/O interconnect applications. This component is a 1×2 (dual-port) configuration, meaning it accommodates two SFP transceivers. The cage provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical support for the SFP modules. The “press-fit” designation indicates the method of attachment to the host PCB, utilizing compliant pins that are pressed into plated through-holes, creating a solderless electrical and mechanical connection. This press-fit design simplifies assembly and rework processes. The assembly is engineered to meet industry-standard SFP specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SFP transceivers for data communication applications such as Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel. The cage material and plating are selected to optimize signal integrity and minimize signal loss at high data rates.
