LATCHING APPARATUS FOR PLUGGABLE OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER MODULE

摘要

A fastening apparatus of a pluggable optical transceiver module, which is coupled to an optical connector and electrically connected to a cage assembly, is disclosed. The fastening apparatus includes a module case extending along a longitudinal direction and at least one rotational latch apparatus positioned on both longitudinal lateral surfaces of the module and adapted to be latched for retaining the module. When the module is mounted along the longitudinal direction of the case, it can be released through a seesawing motion about a rotation axis, which is provided in the interior thereof, while pressing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
