Abstract
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module includes a board with an end portion to be inserted into a connector device. A first set of signal pads is arranged along an edge of a first surface of the SFP board at the end portion and a second set of signal pads along an edge of a second surface of the SFP board at the end portion. A third set of signal pads is disposed on the second surface at the end portion, offset from the edge of the second surface. A transceiver, coupled to the signal pads of the first, second, and third sets of signal pads, is configured to transmit and receive signals via the third set of signal pads and to transmit and receive signals via at least one of the first and second sets of signal pads.
