Abstract: The present invention provides a transceiver housing comprising: an opening at a proximal end thereof for receiving a optical receptacle; an electrical contact for engaging the optical receptacle and retaining the optical receptacle in the housing body; and a first side and a second side, each of the first side and the second side including mountings for mounting a printed wire assembly within the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the transceiver housing of the present invention has a uni-body construction.

Abstract: The present invention provides transceiver modules in which a transceiver may be ejected from a cage into which the transceiver is inserted by pivoting a handle mounted on the transceiver.

Abstract: A transceiver adapter is provided that includes a substrate, including electrical contacts on a first side thereof for electrically contacting a transceiver, and electrical contacts on a second side thereof for electrically contacting a printed wire assembly. A transceiver adapter is also provided that includes an adapter plate, including (a) tabs for positioning a transceiver, and (b) mounting pins for coupling the adapter plate with a printed wire assembly; and a substrate hole through which a transceiver may be electrically mated with a printed wire assembly. A transceiver is also provided that includes electrical contacts; and a mateable electrical connector, including (a) electrical contacts on a first side thereof for electrically contacting the electrical contacts of the transceiver, and (b) electrical contacts on a second side thereof for electrically contacting a printed wire assembly.

Abstract: An electro-optical transducer connector assembly (10) including an electro-optical transducer (15), a transducer housing (25) having a connector portion (45) that extends through an opening (21) in a wall (12) of the enclosure (11) for an electrical apparatus (8), such as a computer. Transducer assembly (15) preferably is a transceiver which includes a laser diode/photo detector assembly (19) and a printed wiring assembly (17). An optical channel (23) having two fiber optic members (23a, 23b) is releasably mechanically connected by a first connector portion (43) and a second connector portion (45) telescoped inside the first connector portion (43) so as to optically align the fiber optic members (23a, 23b) with the transducer (15).
