1. An optoelectronic module for use with fiber optic cables, the optoelectronic module comprising:
a housing extending along a longitudinal axis between first and second opposite ends, the first end having a partition surface, the housing further comprising a first sidewall and second sidewall extending along a longitudinal axis between the first and the second opposite ends, the second sidewall being positioned opposite the first sidewall and having a housing surface therebetween connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall the partition surface facing in a first direction along the longitudinal axis toward the first end, wherein the housing surface comprises one or more slots recessed relative to the housing surface, the one or more slots defining one or more bearing surfaces;
a receiving member disposed in the first end and supported in the second direction by the partition surface, the receiving member including ports each configured to receive a portion of a respective one of the fiber optic cables;
retaining members disposed on the receiving member and being deformable, the retaining members connected to a plate and having distal ends extending away from the plate toward the first end, one or more of distal ends of the retaining members positioned within the one or more slots and abutting the one or more bearing surfaces and being configured to limit movement, with respect to the housing, of the receiving member in the first direction; and
an optoelectronic device positioned within the housing and being configured to optically connect with the fiber optic cables.
