OPTICAL MODULE CONNECTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A connector cover includes a body having a lower recessed portion configured to receive a portion of a reflecting connector of a type that retains the ends of optical fibers therein and has a reflector that redirects or turns the optical signals. The body has an upper housing portion that covers the reflector when the reflecting connector is received in the lower recessed portion of the body. The body also has a pair of arms extending from a forward end of the body. Each arm has a distal end with an arm distal end engagement. The arms are configured to engage a portion of an optical transceiver module.
