Questions
How big is the Sfp receiver PCB?
It measures 100 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.
What parts does the Sfp receiver use?
32 parts, built around the 74LVC2G17GW, 74LVC1GU04DRL, SN65MLVD200AD and CAT16-472J4LF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Sfp receiver KiCad files?
From the b4ck5p4c3/caroline repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/sfp-receiver/sfp-receiver.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/gnss-smt360-carrier/gnss-smt360-carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sfp receiver design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
