Hi Larry -

I made an SFP footprint couple of years ago for a project. As I recall,
this is a 20 pin DIP package with .8mm pitch - I think I modified one of
John Luciani's existing footprints. Incidentally, the same footprint
should be usable for SFP+ style connectors.

Let me look back through the retired files and see if I can find it.


Best
