MOLEX 74743-0003

4 Gbps SFP Cable Assemblies
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Molex expands SFP product offering; 4 Gbps cable assemblies address continued market demands
for high-speed network requirements
74742 Passive Assemblies
74743 Active Assemblies
Molex’s 4 Gbps cable assemblies integrate Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) passive and active transceivers
into a high-performance cable assembly. The cables
are designed to meet and support high-speed data
rates up to 4.25 Gbps.
The SFP system follows the function of standard Gigabit
Interface Converter (GBIC) products, with reduced
size and increased data-transfer rates. The SFP 4
Gbps cables, along with all Molex SFP products, are
multi-sourced, industry-standard products, featuring
a common design interface for use with multiple data
transfer protocols, including Fibre Channel, Gigabit
Ethernet and InfiniBand.*
Active assemblies permit cable lengths up to 15.0m
(49.21’). Passive assemblies meet eye-pattern
specifications up to 3.0m (9.84’). Individual modules
are not sold separately at this time.
Molex provides an extensive and rapidly expanding
line of SFP interconnect products to meet the need
for denser and faster packaging for high-speed serial
interfaces. For more detailed information, please visit:

Features and Benefits
■ Designed to meet Fibre Channel, InfiniBand and
Gigabit Ethernet standards to ensure transceivers
are compliant with SFP MSA
■ Hot pluggable transceivers allow insertion and
removable of plug without powering down the
system
■ Unique thumb latch provides intuitive squeeze and
pull-latching mechanism
■ Zinc diecast backshells provide 360° Electro
Magnetic Interference (EMI) shielding
■ Improved PCB design matches impedance to reduce
reflection at higher speeds
