HIGH PORT DENSITY OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER MODULE

摘要

An optical communications module has two sub-housings that are pluggable into adjacent slots of an EMI cage. The module has a connector array of at least four optical connector ports configured to mate with at least four pluggable optical connectors. In the connector array, each pair of optical connector ports is immediately adjacent to at least one other pair.

主权项

1. An optical communications module, comprising:
a module housing having a module head at a housing first end, a first sub-housing, and a second sub-housing, the module head having a connector array of at least four optical connector ports configured to mate with at least four pluggable optical connectors, each pair of optical connector ports of the array being immediately adjacent to at least one other pair of optical connector ports of the array, the first sub-housing elongated between the housing first end and a housing second end and configured to be received within a first electromagnetic interference (EMI) cage slot, the second sub-housing elongated between the housing first end and the housing second end and configured to be received within a second EMI cage slot; and an electro-optical subassembly within the module housing.
