Abstract: The present ejection mechanism is for a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) unit. The ejection mechanism comprises a latch, and an actuator. The latch is located on a bottom surface of a housing of the SFP unit, and maintains the SFP unit within a chassis when in an engaged position. The actuator comprises an actuating end, a pivot and a distal end. The actuating end has a part emerging from the SFP unit. Upon upward movement of the actuating end, the pivot leads a downward movement of the distal end and application of a pressure on a bottom of the SPF unit thereby disengages the SPF unit from the chassis.

Abstract: The present relates to a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) unit. The SFP unit comprises an optical guide for receiving and guiding an optical component to be optically connected within the SFP unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices comprising small form factor pluggable units (SFP) having connectors for receiving and sending signals and a processor for converting the received signals prior to sending the converted signals. Received or sent signals may comprise video signals in various analog or digital formats. Conversion of the received signals may comprise analog to digital or digital to analog conversion, serializing or deserializing a digital signal, frame synchronization of a video signal, and/or cross conversion of a video signal from a first format to a second format.
