Mechanical & Environmental Considerations

1. Nickel Silver Cage: Provides excellent mechanical strength and conductivity for shielding
2. Heat Sink: Assists in heat dissipation in dense module configurations
3. Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for industrial, telecom, and rugged environments
4. Non-Sealable Design: Should be protected from dust, moisture, or contaminant ingress where necessary
