Abstract
A pluggable optoelectrical transceiver module (99) is adapted to be retained in a metal cage (5). The optoelectrical transceiver module comprises a receptacle (3), a housing (4) covering a front portion (10) of the receptacle, and a releasing mechanism (2). A triangular latch (11) extends from the receptacle and engages with a retaining tab of the cage. A driving device (2) of the releasing mechanism is rotatably attached to the front portion of the receptacle, and moves an ejector (21) forward and rearward. When the driving device is pulled forward, the ejector slides rearward in the receptacle, unlatching the triangular latch from the cage.
Claims17
A pluggable optical transceiver module adapted to be retained in a cage having a retaining tab, the pluggable optical transceiver module comprising:
- a receptacle;
- a conductive housing attached to the receptacle;
- optoelectrical devices received in the receptacle;
- a latch arranged on the receptacle for engaging with the retain tab of the cage;
- an ejector slidably received in the receptacle for disengaging the latch from the retaining tab of the cage;
- and
- a driving device exposed from the housing and rotatably attached to the receptacle and movably engaged with the ejector, whereby when the driving device is moved in one direction, the ejector moves to unlatch the latch from the retaining tab.
A signal transmitting and receiving device comprising:
- a housing;
- signal transmitting and receiving components arranged in the housing;
- a locking device located outside the housing and protruding in a vertical direction;
- a retaining device engaged with the locking device;
- an ejector movable relative to the housing for separating the locking device from the retaining device;
- a driving device driving the ejector to move.
A pluggable optical transceiver module assembly comprising:
- a receptacle with optoelectrical devices therein;
- a conductive housing enclosing at least partially the receptacle;
- a latch formed on at least one of said receptacle and said housing;
- an ejector slidably received in the receptacle and moveable toward the latch;
- and
- a driving device rotatably attached to a front portion of the receptacle, and actuating said ejector to move.
