Electronic modules having an integrated connector detachment mechanism
First Claim
1. A transceiver module comprising:
- a housing;
a connector receptacle at least partially disposed within the housing, the connector receptacle configured to receive a cable connector having a hood which partially encloses a detachment clip of the cable connector; and
a transfer mechanism connected to the housing and disposed such that when the cable connector is received within the connector receptacle, at least a portion of the transfer mechanism extends between the hood and the detachment clip of the cable connector.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are concerned with optical and electrical transceiver modules and, more specifically, to transceiver modules having an integrated cable detachment mechanism. In one example embodiment, a transceiver module includes a housing, a connector receptacle disposed within the housing, and a transfer mechanism connected to the housing. In this example embodiment, the connector receptacle is configured to receive a cable connector having a hood which partially encloses a detachment clip of the cable connector. Also in this example embodiment, the transfer mechanism is disposed such that when the cable connector is received within the connector receptacle, at least a portion of the transfer mechanism extends between the hood and the detachment clip of the cable connector.

19. A transceiver module, comprising:
-
a housing portion; a connector portion attached to the housing portion and defining a connector receptacle, the connector receptacle configured to removably receive a cable connector having a hood which partially encloses a detachment clip of the cable connector; 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, the bail being disposed such that when the cable connector is received within the connector receptacle, at least a portion of the movable bail extends between the hood and the detachment clip of the cable connector. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
