1. A de-latch mechanism for fiber optic modules comprising:

  • a lever-arm actuator with a pivot point; and

    a pivot-arm actuator, wherein rotating the lever-arm actuator about its pivot point causes the pivot-arm actuator to rotate and release a fiber optic module from a cage assembly;

    wherein the lever-arm actuator includes a cross member coupled to the lever-arm actuator, the cross member including an actuating slot, wherein the actuating slot rotates when the lever-arm actuator is rotated about its pivot point to cause the pivot-arm actuator to rotate and release a fiber optic module from a cage assembly.
