1. A transceiver module, comprising:

  • a housing portion;

    a connector portion attached to the housing portion and configured to removably receive one or more cable connectors;

    a pivot block rotatably engaging the connector portion, the pivot block being rotatable between a first pivot block position where the module is latched to a host port, and a second pivot block position where the module is unlatched from the host port; and

    a bail secured in position on the connector portion by the pivot block, the bail being operably arranged with respect to the pivot block so that movement of the bail to a first bail position corresponds with a movement of the pivot block to the first pivot block position where the module is latched to the host port, and movement of the bail to a second bail position corresponds with a movement of the pivot block to the second pivot block position where the module is unlatched from the host port.
