Abstract
One embodiment includes an optical connection apparatus, including an optical cable, and a fiber-attach-latch connector terminating the optical cable, and comprising a connector housing including a latch element, the connector housing being configured to be reversibly inserted into a connector receptable of an optical module having an optical transceiver, and a connector boot connected to the connector housing and disposed around a part of the optical cable, wherein at least part of the connector housing is formed from radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) radiation absorbing material configured to absorb RF EM interference generated by the optical module.

An optical connection apparatus, comprising:
- an optical cable;
- and
- a fiber-attach-latch connector terminating the optical cable, and comprising:
- a connector housing including a latch element and a first portion, the first portion of the connector housing being configured to be reversibly inserted into a connector receptable of an optical module having an optical transceiver;
- and
- a connector boot connected to the connector housing and disposed around a part of the optical cable, wherein the first portion of the connector housing which is configured to be reversibly inserted into the connector receptable is formed from radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) radiation absorbing material configured to absorb RF EM interference generated by the optical module.
