Abstract:
An adapter for adapting a first optoelectronic transceiver module having a first circuit package to a second optoelectronic transceiver module having a second circuit packaging, the first optoelectronic transceiver module having a form factor package smaller than that of the second optoelectronic transceiver module, comprising:a substrate for receiving the first optoelectronic transceiver module thereon; a plurality of connectors disposed on the substrate configured in the form of the second circuit packaging of the second optoelectronic transceiver module; interconnect means on the substrate for interconnecting the first circuit package to the plurality of connectors; and a cover mounted on the substrate and forming a portion of the form factor package of the second optoelectronic tranceiver module and covering the first optoelectronic transceiver module when the first optoelectronic transceiver module is received on the substrate, thereby forming a module-in-module arrangement.
