  • Patent number: 11846816
    Abstract: An optical transceiver can include a transmitter and a receiver. The optical transceiver is configured to mate with an electrical connector in first and second orientations that are opposite each other. In certain examples, a thermally conductive surface of the transceiver is configured to be placed in thermal communication with a heat dissipation member in one or both of the first and second orientations. Further examples of optical transceivers can be mounted to a base and placed in electrical communication with an electrical connector.
