Notes:
1. Labeling as Input (I) and Output (O) are from perspective of the module (cable connector)
2. The case makes electrical contact to the host cage before any board edge contacts are made
3. The module signal grounds, VeeR and VeeT, should be isolated from the module case
4. Tx-fault, Tx_disable, rate select, and loss of signal functions are not implemented in passive copper cable
assemblies
5. SDA and SCL are the data and clock pins for the I2C interface to the EEPROM on board the module. The
registers are defined in SFF-8472.
6. Mod_ABS is an output pin to indicate if the module is present in the host port It is connected to ground in the
module (cable connector)
