  • Patent number: 12321024
    Abstract: An optical transceiver includes a housing, a fastening component and a latch. The fastening component is disposed on the housing. The fastening component is movable with respect to the housing in a releasing direction from an electrical port of the optical transceiver toward a fiber optic port of the optical transceiver. The latch is movably disposed on the housing to be at either an unlocking position or a locking position. The fastening component is allowed to be moved with respect to the housing in the releasing direction when the latch is at the unlocking position, and a movement of the fastening component in the releasing direction is confined by the latch when the latch is at the locking position.

  • Publication number: 20240385391
    Abstract: An optical module includes a housing and a release mechanism. The housing includes an outer lateral surface. The release mechanism includes an arm and a releasing component. The arm is disposed on the outer lateral surface and movable relative to the housing. The releasing component is disposed on the outer lateral surface and includes a pivot, a releasing portion and a pressed portion. The pivot is between the releasing portion and the pressed portion. The pivot is disposed on the housing. The arm pushes the pressed portion to pivot the releasing component. At an idle state of the release mechanism, a movement of the housing is restricted by an interference between a flexible counterpart of a cage and the housing. At a releasing state of the release mechanism, the releasing portion deforms the flexible counterpart, thereby removing the interference between the flexible counterpart and the housing.
