SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) cages are metal enclosures designed to house SFP transceivers, which are compact, hot-swappable modules used in networking and telecommunications for high-speed data transmission. These cages are mounted onto PCBs and provide mechanical support, EMI shielding, and thermal management for the transceivers.

Commonly used in Ethernet switches, routers, and optical networking equipment, SFP cages ensure the reliable operation of transceivers by facilitating efficient insertion, removal, and heat dissipation. Their design also helps maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference in high-density applications.
