XFP is a 30pos 0.8mm pitch SMT receptacle designed to support 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet with the ability to extend performance to 14 Gbps. It is constructed from a metal frame and the cage assembly is to be bezel-mounted to an I/O panel with compliant pins for pressing onto the host PCB. Its single row cage configuration requires less space & is cost-optimized.
