Patent number: 6974265Abstract: Fiber optic modules having a pull-actuator to unlatch and withdraw (i.e. unplug) it from a cage assembly or a module receptacle. The pull-actuator includes a pull-tab, an arm or push rod, and a catch to couple to a pivot-arm actuator. The pivot-arm actuator pivotally latches to the pull-actuator and to the cage assembly or module receptacle. The pull-actuator makes it easy to de-latch and unplug a fiber optic module. A nose grip is further provided to pull the fiber optic module away from the cage or module receptacle. A belly-to-belly mounting configuration is introduced for the pull-release fiber optic modules.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2004Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Liew C. Chiu, Ron C. Pang, Yong P. Sim, Kee S. Tan, Edwin Dair

Patent number: 6952532Abstract: Multiple board fiber optic modules and methods related thereto. Fiber optic modules include one or more vertical printed circuit boards and/or one or more horizontal printed circuit boards and/or one or more slanted printed circuit boards. The one or more printed circuit boards are parallel to optical axis of one or more optoelectronic devices such as a receiver or transmitter. The one or more printed circuit boards may include a ground plane to minimize electrical cross talk. A shielded housing or cover provides shielding for electromagnetic interference. The base or shielded housing or cover may include a septum to separate the fiber optic modules into a first side and a second side and provide additional shielding to minimize crosstalk.

Patent number: 6874953Abstract: A fiber-optic module having a housing/shielding unit and a module chassis frame having optical, electrical and electro-optical components. The housing/shielding unit functions both as a protective outer housing and an electromagnetic shield. The housing/shielding unit includes forward fingers for a flush mounting in one embodiment and backward fingers for an extended mounting in another embodiment. The fingers can contact a bezel, faceplate or wall of host system to ground the housing/shielding unit to a chassis ground. The module chassis frame may be formed of a conductive material and grounded as well through a host system faceplate or otherwise to the chassis ground. A transmit ground for transmitter components and a receive ground for receiver components are isolated from the chassis ground.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2003Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: JDS Uniphase CorporationInventors: Edwin Dair, Wenbin Jiang, Cheng Ping Wei, Yong Peng Sim
