Patent number: 6804431Abstract: A device includes a housing, two members protruding from the housing, two transmitting optical subassemblies, two receiving optical subassemblies, a multiplexer, and a de-multiplexer. The housing includes two ports for receiving optical fiber connectors. Functionally, the two members act as two standard sized transceivers. The optical outputs of the transmitting optical subassemblies are introduced into the multiplexer and the output of the multiplexer is introduced into one of the two ports of the housing. The optical inputs of the receiving optical subassemblies emanate from the de-multiplexer. The optical data signal input into the de-multiplexer originates from the other port of the two ports of the housing. The two members are attached to the housing in such a way so that when the device is plugged into the receptacle of the host device, the two members can translate in three directions and rotate in three directions relative to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2002Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Stratos Lightwave, Inc.Inventors: Anthony S.

Publication number: 20040127102Abstract: A robust optoelectronic transceiver module which is quick, easy, and inexpensive to manufacture. The transceiver module has a main housing which consists of a potting box with potting material inserted therein. In addition, a circuit board is encased by the potting material. The circuit board has an optical subassembly mounted thereon. The optical subassembly extends outside of the potting box through a recess. Correspondingly, a recess cover is provided for forming a liquid tight seal between the recess cover, the potting box, and the optical subassembly. The module housing may be pluggable via release levers having detentes received in apertures of a receptacle and a pluggable connector of the module mated within the receptacle. The receptacle may include grounding means such as a ground clip mounted within the receptacle and a protective door to limit electromagnetic emissions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2003Publication date: July 1, 2004Applicant: Stratos Lightwave, Inc.Inventors: Daniel S.
