Abstract:
1. An optical transceiver module comprising: an integrally-formed housing having opposing top and bottom surfaces and a front surface perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces, the front surface having a duplex front port with a pair of alignment holes for receiving a pair of ferrules from a duplex fiber optic connector in a direction parallel to the top and bottom surfaces, the duplex front port having an upper flexible retaining element positioned on the front surface adjacent the top surface and a lower flexible retaining element positioned on the front surface adjacent the bottom surface, the upper and lower flexible retaining elements adapted to vertically flex relative to the top and bottom surfaces in a direction perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces and thereby retain the pair of ferrules from the duplex fiber optic connector in the alignment holes; an opto-electronic assembly contained within the housing; and an electrical interface positioned on and extending perpendicularly away from the bottom surface of the integrally-formed housing and configured to electrically couple to a printed circuit board positioned below the bottom surface.
