## Abstract

There is provided a pluggable module having grooves, on lateral faces, for latching with a cage and engaging portions for detachment, wherein the module body is detached from the cage by using a module detaching unit which is inserted along the grooves and which locks the engaging portions of the module body in the length direction. Further, there is provided a detaching jig including: latch release portions which are inserted between the pluggable module and the cage; lock portions which allow the pluggable module to be locked in the detaching direction; and a handle portion for detaching the pluggable module from the cage.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A pluggable module comprising:
a module body having grooves, on lateral faces, for latching with a cage and engaging portions for detachment; and
a module detaching unit, a part of which is arranged along the grooves so as to release the latching and which locks the engaging portions of the module body in the length direction.

### Claim 2

A pluggable module having grooves, on lateral faces, for latching with a cage and engaging portions for detachment,
wherein the module body is detached from the cage by using a module detaching unit which is inserted along the grooves and which locks the engaging portions of the module body in the length direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The pluggable module according to claim 1,
wherein said engaging portions are provided on a face intersecting with the lateral faces.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The pluggable module according to claim 2,
wherein said engaging portions are provided on a face intersecting with the lateral faces.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The pluggable module according to claim 1,
wherein said module body is an optical transceiver module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The pluggable module according to claim 2,
wherein said module body is an optical transceiver module.

### Claim 7

A detaching jig for detaching a pluggable module from a cage, the jig comprising:
latch release portions which are inserted between the pluggable module and the cage;
lock portions which allow the pluggable module to be locked in the detaching direction; and
a handle portion for detaching the pluggable module from the cage.
