The optical communication module is provided with a latch. The latch is rotated around a hinge shaft fixed to both sides of a receptacle and engaging latch holes of ends of the latch. When rotated the latch moves latch drivers to force a slider upward, the slider raises a groove engaging a fixing tap of the optical communication module thereby allowing the optical communication module to be detached from the system port. The optical communication module can be detached from the system port without a tool or influence or adjacent an optical communication module.

  • Patent number: 7164827
    Abstract: An optical communication module is provided with a platform to provide an accurate axial alignment with optical transceiving subassemblies. In the optical communication module, axes of the optical transceiving sub-assemblies are aligned by virtue of previously established axial alignment of the platform, and the platform is fixed to a main body by inserting an insertion jaw of a cover into an insertion groove formed on an upper surface of the platform. After the optical transceiving subassemblies are inserted into the platform having the axial alignment required for a system, a bonding agent is filled into spaces defined in the platform, thereby preventing the axes from deviated by an external force.
