CFP MECHANICAL PLATFORM

摘要

A mechanical platform for pluggable modules and host devices. In one example embodiment, a system includes a host device and a pluggable module configured to be plugged into the host device. The host device includes a host printed circuit board and a host connector coupled to the host printed circuit board. The host connector defines a recessed slot configured to receive a module connector of the pluggable module. A first guide and a second guide are coupled to the host printed circuit board, each defining a channel configured to receive guiderails of the pluggable module. A host bezel is coupled to the first and second guides and defines an opening configured to receive the pluggable module. The pluggable module includes a front, back, and two sides. A module connector is disposed at the back of the pluggable module and is configured to be inserted into the recessed slot of the host connector. A first guiderail protrudes from the first side of the pluggable module and is configured to engage a channel of the first guide. A second guiderail protrudes from the second side of the pluggable module and is configured to engage a channel of the second guide.
