Abstract:
1. A transceiver module, comprising: a housing made of an electrically conductive material; an opto-electronic subsystem mounted in the housing, the opto-electronic subsystem having an optical axis; a receptacle made of an electrically conductive material, the receptacle mounted in an opening in the housing and mateable with an optical cable plug aligned with the optical axis; a coupling made of an electrically conductive material, the coupling in mechanical and electrical contact with the opto-electronic subsystem; and a connector made of a dielectric material, the connector disposed between the receptacle and the coupling and aiding mechanical alignment of the receptacle and the coupling with the optical axis, whereby the connector electrically isolates a chassis ground potential of the housing and receptacle from a signal ground potential of the opto-electronic subsystem.
