Abstract:
1. A configuration of fiber optic modules having one or more electro-optic transducers, the configuration comprising: a printed circuit board having a first side and a second side; a first cage coupled to the first side of the printed circuit board to receive a first fiber optic module having a first bail latch delatching mechanism; a second cage coupled to the second side of the printed circuit board to receive a second fiber optic module having a second bail latch delatching mechanism, the second cage aligned in parallel to the first cage such that a first belly of the first fiber optic module is adjacent a second belly of the second fiber optic module; and when received in the first cage and the second cage, the first fiber optic module and the second fiber optic module having adequate spacing to allow the first bail latch delatching mechanism and the second bail latch delatching mechanism to rotate to a disengaged position.
