  • Patent number: 7766679
    Abstract: There is provided a pluggable module having grooves, on lateral faces, for latching with a cage and engaging portions for detachment, wherein the module body is detached from the cage by using a module detaching unit which is inserted along the grooves and which locks the engaging portions of the module body in the length direction. Further, there is provided a detaching jig including: latch release portions which are inserted between the pluggable module and the cage; lock portions which allow the pluggable module to be locked in the detaching direction; and a handle portion for detaching the pluggable module from the cage.

  • Publication number: 20090317086
    Abstract: An optical transceiver module for transmitting and receiving an optical signal with a plurality of channels includes timing generator for sequentially generating timing instructions defining different start-up time points, and powering controller for effecting a control such that power supply to at least a portion of circuit components associated with the respective channels is sequentially started in accordance with the timing instructions generated by the timing generator. Current to be instantaneously necessitated when a power switch is turned on or when a power restoration is made from power saving operation modes can be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20080008429
    Abstract: A receptacle type optical apparatus is provided that prevents occurrence of misalignment in coupling optical waveguides. The receptacle type optical apparatus includes an optical device module having a light-emitting device and a light-receiving device, and an enclosure that stores the optical device module, the receptacle type optical apparatus allowing a part of an optical connector to be inserted inside the enclosure and establishing connection with the optical connector. An inner spatial area is formed in the enclosure that allows the part of the optical connector and the optical device module to be swingable with respect to a predetermined position in the optical device module. Furthermore, a support member is provided to swingably support the part of the optical connector and the optical device module integrally at the predetermined position.
