Patent number: 11964855Abstract: Presented herein are removable pull tabs that are configured to be detachably coupled to pluggable modules in a manner that facilitates removal of the pull tabs from the module without disassembling the modules. In particular, a removable pull tab may comprise a handle, first and second substantially parallel attachment arms extending from the handle, and a reinforcement line embedded in the handle and first and second attachment arms. The first and second attachment arms comprise first and second attachment mechanisms, respectively, disposed at a distal end of the respective attachment arm. The first and second attachment mechanisms are configured to detachably couple to first and second apertures, respectively, of a pluggable module.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Li Li, Matthew Los, Joyce Peternel, Stephan Gostonyi, Fred Warning, Mittu Pannala
