Claim 10:
11. An optoelectronic module for use with fiber optic cables, the module comprising:
a housing having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending along a longitudinal axis between first and second opposite ends, the first end having a partition surface, the first portion of 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, the second portion of the housing being releasably connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the first portion and the second portion defining a cavity therebetween, 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 being configured to receive a respective one of the fiber optic cables;
retaining members positioned between and engaging with the receiving member, wherein the retaining members are 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 being positioned within the one or more slots, the retaining members being configured to prevent movement, with respect to the housing, of the receiving member in the first direction along the longitudinal axis toward the first end away from the housing; and
an optoelectronic device positioned within the housing and being configured to optically connect with the fiber optic cables.
