  • Patent number: 11415763
    Abstract: Pluggable optical transceiver modules are described herein that are specifically configured to preclude use of fiber jumpers inside of the module. Pluggable optical transceiver modules implement a rigid-plane jumper that provides an opto-mechanical interface between an external fiber cable (attached to the pluggable optical transceiver module) and the optical transceiver in a manner that does not require the fiber jumper, while ensuring reduced optical loss. In some embodiments one or more rigid waveguide plates act as an opto-mechanical coupling between the external fiber cable and on-board opto-electrical components (e.g., optical transceiver). For example, the rigid waveguide plates are coupled to a faceplate connector, and a CWDM block that is in turn optically coupled to the optical socket. In some embodiments, the CWDM block is directly attached to the rigid waveguide plates. In some embodiments, the CWDM block is indirectly attached to the rigid waveguide plates using a half periscope.

  • Patent number: 11101611
    Abstract: An I/O connector assembly configured for making a cabled connection to an interior portion of a printed circuit board for at least some signals passing through the I/O connector. The I/O connector assembly may be assembled by mounting a cage to a printed circuit board. A receptacle connector, including cables extending from a rear of the connector, may be inserted through an opening in the top or rear of the cage. The receptacle connector may be positioned in the cage by at least one retention member on the cage. A plug, mating to the receptacle connector, also may be positioned by a retention member on the cage. Positioning both the plug and receptacle relative to the cage reduces the tolerance stackup of the assembly and enables the connectors to be designed with shorter wipe length, which enables higher frequency operation.
