Transceiver module

A transceiver module comprising:

• a transceiver body;
• a handle pivotably connected to a proximal end said transceiver body, said handle including a cam and having an unlatched and latched position;
• a tab on said transceiver body for extending through an opening in a cage flange spring of a transceiver cage to thereby hold said transceiver body in said transceiver cage when said handle is in a latched position;
• and
• a rocker return spring mounted on said transceiver body and being covered by said cage flange spring when said transceiver is held in said transceiver, said rocker return spring including an opening through which said tab extends when said handle is in a latched position, wherein when said handle is in a unlatched position, said cam is pivoted to cause a free end of said rocker return spring to be lifted and thereby cause a free end of said cage flange spring to be lifted, said tab to be unrestrained in a proximal direction by said rocker return spring opening and said cage flange spring opening, and said transceiver body to be removed from said cage.

A transceiver assembly comprising:

• a transceiver cage;
• a transceiver body for insert in said transceiver cage;
• a handle pivotably connected to a proximal end said transceiver body, said handle including a cam and having an unlatched and latched position;
• a tab on said transceiver body for extending through an opening in a cage flange spring of said transceiver cage to thereby hold said transceiver body in said transceiver cage when said handle is in a latched position;
• and
• a rocker return spring mounted on said transceiver body and being covered by said cage flange spring when said transceiver is held in said transceiver, said rocker return spring including an opening through which said tab extends when said handle is in a latched position, wherein when said handle is in a unlatched position, said cam is pivoted to cause a free end of said rocker return spring to be lifted and thereby cause a free end of said cage flange spring to be lifted and said tab to be unrestrained in a proximal direction by said rocker return spring opening and said cage flange spring opening to thereby allow said transceiver body to be removed from said cage.
