Abstract
An SFP transceiver cage includes a mainframe and a rectangular grounding device. The mainframe includes two sidewalls, a sidewall cover, a top plate, a bottom wall and a rear cover. The mainframe and grounding device are each preferably made from a single piece of metal plate. A plurality of inward fingers is formed on the mainframe. A plurality of outward grounding fingers is formed on the grounding device. A central outward spring tab is formed at the bottom of the grounding device. A front portion of the mainframe is mounted in an opening of an orthogonal panel, leaving a gap between the panel and the mainframe. The grounding device is mounted around the front portion of the mainframe, and substantially fits the gap. The central outward finger shields a gap between the panel and a spring latch of the mainframe.
