This cage carries an EMI shield built into the body, which is the main feature that distinguishes it from a basic unshielded cage. It's the mechanical and thermal interface between the hot-pluggable module and the host board. This cage terminates by solder to the PCB through the through-hole pins. That layout is standard for front-panel ports where the cable exits the enclosure face. ## Packaging for the Assembly Line This cage ships in Tape & Reel (TR) with a Cut Tape (CT) option, which means it's set up for automated pick-and-place on a high-volume SMT line. The reel format feeds the cage into the placement head without manual handling. For lower-volume builds or prototype runs, the sibling 2227302-3 is the same cage in a Box package — same SFP cage, same EMI shield, same right-angle through-hole footprint, just bulk-packed instead of reeled.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1-2227303-2 SFP Cage, EMI Shielded","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1-2227303-2 SFP cage, through-hole right-angle mount, EMI shielded.

The cage accepts both SFP and SFP+ modules, provided the module's electrical interface matches the host board's design. The cage itself does not impose the data-rate limit — that is determined by the PCB trace design and the module specification."},{"question":"What is the difference between SFP and SFP+ cage?","answer":"The physical cage dimensions and pinout are identical between SFP and SFP+ cages. The difference is in the host board's signal integrity design — SFP+ operates at up to 10 Gbps per lane, requiring tighter impedance control and lower insertion loss in the PCB traces. The cage itself is the same mechanical part."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-2227303-2","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-2227303-2 when reusing this data.
